Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for Loxwood CP School. The requirement covers transport for four students, with no passenger assistant, using one saloon car. The service area includes Cranleigh, Alfold and Billingshurst, supporting journeys connected with the school and the students’ listed locations. This is a passenger transport services requirement, rather than a vehicle supply or construction opportunity. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The awarded supplier, Traveline Transport Services, is based in Woking and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. Businesses considering similar work for this council would need to operate suitable passenger transport services and be able to provide a saloon car for a small number of school passengers across the specified Surrey and West Sussex locations.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The single requirement was awarded to Traveline Transport Services. The award was made on 16 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £5,691,857 gross. The procurement used a limited method rather than an open competition, and the service was evaluated as transport services. The contract relates to the complete tender requirement for Loxwood CP School, covering the four-student saloon-car route serving Cranleigh, Alfold and Billingshurst. The contract is active, while the tender is recorded as complete.

This award demonstrates substantial council demand for managed school passenger transport, even where an individual route involves only a small number of students and a single saloon car. It is relevant to operators with experience in child and mainstream education transport, dependable vehicles and the capacity to provide regular journeys across Cranleigh, Alfold, Billingshurst and surrounding areas. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need robust driver recruitment and safeguarding arrangements, reliable vehicle availability, punctuality and contingency cover for absences or vehicle failures. Local knowledge of school travel routes and the ability to coordinate transport for children without a passenger assistant would also be important. The successful supplier’s SME status indicates that this scale of work can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator.
