The project is set in Kingston upon Thames and involves transporting students from Staines to Burstow Park School. The procurement falls under the services category and the industry classification of "Transport services." The tender process used a limited competition method, designated as "Below threshold," and applied a light touch regime. The contract commenced on 23rd April 2026 and is expected to conclude on 31st July 2027, with a significant contract value of £5,518,286 GBP. The procurement stage is currently marked as complete, with the award status active as of 14th July 2026.
