UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Surrey County Council involved awarding a contract for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - Child Mainstream." This contract, focused on the industry category of transport services (excluding waste transport), was carried out through a limited competition method due to its below-threshold nature. The procurement pertains to Standard Transport, specifically coach services with 16+ seats, compliant with PSVAR, to provide child mainstream transport. Situated in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey County Council orchestrated this procurement process with the award finalised on 16th July 2026 and the contract set to commence on 1st September 2026, running until 31st July 2029.

This tender presents a significant business growth opportunity for transport service providers, particularly those specialising in passenger transport services with appropriate vehicle capacity. SMEs, such as "united minibuses and coaches limited," which was the successful supplier, are especially well-positioned to benefit from such contracts due to the tailored nature of the requirements and the particular focus on compliance with accessibility standards. Engaging in contracts like these can contribute to improved service offerings and expansion of client bases for businesses adept at delivering high-capacity passenger transport solutions within and around the locality specified.
