In plain English
East Sussex County Council is looking for a taxi or minibus (saloon, 1–8 seats) to run a school transport route Monday to Friday during school hours (08:45–15:15). The route runs between postcode BN26 5RS and Alfriston School (BN26 5XB). Road conditions on this route are poor, so the operator needs to be aware of that.
What the buyer wants
• Provide a saloon taxi or minibus (1–8 passenger seats) for regular school runs • Operate Monday to Friday, 08:45–15:15 • No passenger assistant required • Be prepared to navigate poor road conditions on the route
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This contract is likely only open to established taxi or minibus operators with their own vehicle fleet and proper licensing; sole traders without a licensed vehicle will be excluded. The vague notice (no budget, no tender timeline, limited detail) suggests this may be an informal procurement or already assigned.
Always check the tender documents.
