Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has awarded a contract for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - Child Mainstream" as part of their public procurement activities. This particular procurement falls within the services industry category, specifically transport services excluding waste transport. The contracting process, which utilised a limited procurement method due to being below threshold, has reached the award stage with the contract signed on 16th July 2026. The successful supplier is United Minibuses and Coaches Limited, an SME based in Horley. The contract period is set to commence on 1st September 2026 and will run until 31st July 2029.
