In plain English
East Sussex County Council wants a taxi or people carrier (MPV) with a driver and a female passenger assistant to take passengers from two addresses in Tunbridge Wells and Uckfield to Ropemakers Academy in Polegate. The work runs Monday to Friday during school hours, from 08:30 to 14:30. The estimated value is not stated.
What the buyer wants
• Provide a 4-seat taxi or MPV with a driver for the daily school run • Supply a female passenger assistant to travel with the passengers • Complete the Monday to Friday route from the two pick-up postcodes (TN6 3GL and TN22 5PN) to Ropemakers Academy (BN27 1FB), within the 08:30 to 14:30 school day
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice requires a female passenger assistant alongside the driver and daily timed pick-ups from two addresses, so an operator that cannot staff that role or run that schedule would likely be ruled out, and the notice does not list any other specific criteria.
Always check the tender documents.

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
