## Summary

East Sussex County Council is currently in the tender stage of a procurement process seeking services for "Taxi and MPV (1-8 seats)" transport services. The tender is classified under the CPV code 60000000, pertaining to transport services excluding waste transport, and is focused on routes within the United Kingdom, specifically servicing Homewood School and Sixth Form in TN30 6LT. The procurement is conducted via a restricted procedure, with the tender period concluding on 2nd July 2026 at 11:00 AM. The contract is set to commence on 3rd September 2026 and conclude on 31st July 2029, representing a substantial opportunity for service providers in the transportation sector.

This tender represents a growth opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in transportation services, providing a steady contract over nearly three years. With no requirement for passenger assistants, companies that can offer reliable and efficient vehicle services for school routes stand to benefit significantly. The procurement process is suitable for SMEs, and given the selective procurement method, businesses with prior experience in the sector and the capacity to meet the logistical needs of daily school transportation across the specified locations will be well-positioned to compete effectively.
