In plain English
East Sussex County Council wants a taxi service for a fixed school run between postcodes TN33 9QE and TN39 3PD, on Tuesdays and Thursdays only. The vehicle must be a saloon, and no passenger assistant is needed. The Tuesday trip is from 11:30 to 12:30, and the Thursday trip is from 13:30 to 15:00.
What the buyer wants
• Provide a saloon taxi for the stated route on Tuesdays and Thursdays only • Collect and return passengers within the set Tuesday (11:30 to 12:30) and Thursday (13:30 to 15:00) time windows • Work without a passenger assistant, as the notice states none is required
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list any specific qualifications, values or conditions, so nothing in it clearly rules out a small business; however, the fixed days and times on a single route mean only operators with a suitable saloon available for those exact slots could realistically take it.
Always check the tender documents.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
Where to apply
The notice doesn't name a website for bids. Ask the buyer how to apply, using the contact on the official notice.
