In plain English
East Sussex County Council wants a taxi or minibus operator to transport a student each school day between home (BN7 2RL) and Acre Wood Sixth Form (TN6 2DY), with a passenger assistant trained in epilepsy travelling on the journey. The route runs Monday to Friday, with a daily school time of 09:00 to 15:10.
What the buyer wants
• Provide a 04 seat saloon vehicle (the notice lists the vehicle type as '04 Seat Saloon') • Supply a passenger assistant who is trained in epilepsy and travels on the journey • Run the route Monday to Friday, collecting from BN7 2RL and taking the student to Acre Wood Sixth Form for the 09:00 to 15:10 school day
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The requirement for an epilepsy-trained passenger assistant on every journey is the most likely barrier for a small business, since it means you must already have, or be able to supply, a trained member of staff in addition to a driver and suitable vehicle.
Always check the tender documents.
