Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for three children without a personal assistant, travelling to St John The Baptist School in Addlestone. The requirement is for a saloon car, covering the scheduled school transport journey and associated passenger transport service. This is a services contract for a council-managed education transport requirement in Addlestone, Surrey. The work suits operators able to provide reliable, appropriately managed car transport for children travelling to school, with the vehicle and service arrangements set out for this individual route. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority responsible for arranging the transport service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to TSM PREMIER CARS; the contract was signed on 21 July 2026. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. There was one completed lot covering the child transport requirement. The awarded contract value is £3,495,000 gross, in GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028 and is active. The award covers transport services for the specified school journey, with TSM PREMIER CARS as the selected supplier. The published procurement information identifies the requirement and route, while the award outcome confirms the supplier and the contracted value and period.

This procurement indicates substantial, recurring demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated school transport delivered by local passenger transport operators. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide dependable saloon-car services for children, maintain consistent journeys to and from the named school, and manage a passenger service where no personal assistant is provided. Operators should be able to demonstrate sufficient vehicle availability, reliable scheduling, safeguarding-conscious operating practices and the capacity to deliver an individual education transport route over an extended service period. Experience of council or school transport would help show that the business can meet fixed educational travel patterns and maintain dependable performance for families and the authority.
