In plain English
East Sussex County Council needs a taxi or minibus (4-seat vehicle) to transport one student from postcode BN23 8HE to ESA Newhaven (BN9 9BN) on school days. The service runs Monday to Friday, 09:00–15:00 (Mon–Thu) and 09:00–13:00 (Fri). No passenger assistant is required.
What the buyer wants
• Provide a reliable 4-seat taxi or MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) for regular school transport • Operate the route on the specified days and times, picking up and dropping off one student • Maintain the vehicle to a safe, roadworthy standard suitable for passenger transport
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: You must hold a valid Hackney Carriage or Private Hire licence and Enhanced DBS clearance; most private individuals or businesses without these credentials will be unable to bid. The contract also specifies a very narrow route and schedule, so you need to be able to service that exact location and timetable reliably.
Always check the tender documents.
