In plain English
East Sussex County Council is looking for a licensed taxi operator to take a pupil by car each school day, Monday to Friday, from a home address in BN20 (Eastbourne area) to Brighton MET college in BN2. The journey runs around the school day from 09:00 to 15:30, and no passenger assistant is needed, so a single saloon car with one driver is expected.
What the buyer wants
• Provide a licensed saloon taxi (1-8 seats) with a driver for a daily school run, Monday to Friday, covering the morning and afternoon journeys • Hold the correct local private hire or taxi licences and insurance, and keep the vehicle road-legal and well maintained • Keep children safe through background checks for the driver, safeguarding awareness, and reliable, punctual service
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: A business without a properly licensed saloon taxi, the correct hire and reward insurance, or driver DBS checks that cover working with children would be ruled out.
Always check the tender documents.
