Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by Surrey County Council for the provision of "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - Child Mainstream," focusing on transport services for children attending Oaklands Primary Academy in Westerham, with routes including Warlingham. This procurement belongs to the services industry category under transport services, specifically excluding waste transport. The contract was awarded using a limited procurement method and falls under the special regime of "lightTouch." The official periods for this procurement run from 1st September 2026 to 30th July 2027. The award, now in the complete stage, indicates that the procurement process has successfully concluded, with the contract being signed on 24th July 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities primarily for businesses experienced in providing large Multi-Purpose Vehicles (MPVs) for transport services. Ideal candidates are those capable of delivering efficient and reliable transport solutions tailored to the needs of primary school pupils. Large, established transport providers, such as STL, based in Woking, would find this type of contract conducive to further business expansion due to its nature and scope. Suppliers specialising in service execution without requiring a passenger assistant (PA) might find this particularly appealing, potentially leading to long-term partnerships with local governments on similar projects.
