In plain English
East Sussex County Council is looking for a taxi or MPV (multi-passenger vehicle with 1–8 seats) to run a school transport route Monday to Friday, 09:00–16:30, between postcode TN37 7TH and Mount Camphill (TN5 6PT). The vehicle needs a large boot to carry a walker or folding wheelchair daily.
What the buyer wants
• Provide a saloon taxi or MPV capable of carrying up to 8 passengers • Operate the fixed school route Mon–Fri, 09:00–16:30 • Transport equipment (walker or folding wheelchair) with adequate boot space • No passenger assistant or additional care worker required
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: You must hold a valid PCV licence and Enhanced DBS clearance. Most small taxi operators will already have these, but it will disqualify unregistered or unlicensed operators. The contract specifies fixed school times, so flexibility is minimal.
Always check the tender documents.
