Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, a sub-central government public authority based in Kingston upon Thames, conducted a limited competition procurement for client transport services for the period 2026 to 2034. This service involves transporting two pupils from Hurst Green to Lingfield Primary School using a saloon car. The procurement process is at the award stage and has been completed, with the contract being signed on 28th May 2026 and active until 22nd July 2026. The contract, valued at GBP 291,429, falls under the light-touch regime and is classified in the transport services industry category.

This tender offers expansive opportunities for businesses in the transport services sector, particularly those specialising in pupil transport. Large firms like A25 Cars Limited, based in Oxted, are well-aligned to bid for similar contracts given their experience and service capacity. This limited competition procurement method, although below threshold, still provides significant monetary value and practical engagement for businesses looking to expand their service offerings within the public sector framework.
