Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for Oxted School. The requirement covers transport for one student, with no personal assistant, using one saloon car. The journey is associated with Haxted and Oxted, with Oxted School identified as the destination. This is a small, dedicated passenger transport requirement rather than a wider school transport network or a multiple-vehicle operation. It is relevant to operators able to provide reliable individual student transport by saloon car and to manage the journey between the Haxted area and Oxted School. The procurement falls within general passenger transport services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one requirement, awarded to STL. The award was active and the contract was signed on 22 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with a gross value of £7,600,000. Surrey County Council is the buyer. The procurement used the light-touch regime and a limited procurement method. The published information identifies transport services as the service category. The award covers the single requirement for child mainstream transport to Oxted School; no separate lot awards or alternative suppliers are recorded.

This award identifies Surrey County Council as a buyer of dedicated child transport delivered by a single saloon car for one student, without a personal assistant. It is commercially relevant to passenger transport operators that can provide a suitably sized vehicle and organise a consistent, individual school journey between Haxted and Oxted. The requirement is narrowly defined, so larger fleet capacity is not central to this particular service; operational fit, dependable journey provision and the ability to support a child’s regular school transport are more relevant. Competitors studying similar future requirements should be able to demonstrate that they can deliver focused one-student transport rather than only high-volume or group services.
