In plain English

East Sussex County Council wants a taxi operator to take a pupil to school each weekday, with a passenger assistant (an adult who travels with the child to support them) on board. The route runs from postcode TN5 7HL to Stonegate School (TN5 7EN), Monday to Friday, with school times of 08:45 to 15:05. The notice does not state an estimated value.

What the buyer wants

• Provide a saloon vehicle with 1-8 seats for the school run • Supply a passenger assistant for every journey • Run the route from TN5 7HL to Stonegate School, Monday to Friday, matching the 08:45 to 15:05 school times

Requirements

What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): The notice does not set out any specific qualification, insurance or size requirement, but a small operator would need to be able to cover a daily route at fixed times and provide a passenger assistant on every journey, so a sole trader without a second person available may struggle.

Always check the tender documents.
