Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for two children travelling between Gamberley and Woking and St Peters Medical Short Stay School, also known as Great Park School from September, in Egham. The requirement is for a saloon car service, with journeys timed to collect at 12:00 and collect again at 15:00. No personal assistant is required. The work covers passenger transport rather than vehicle supply or construction, and is delivered across the Surrey and Egham area. It is relevant to operators providing scheduled school or medical transport for children, particularly those able to provide reliable saloon-car journeys across these locations and meet the stated timetable.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to iconnectcar. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 27 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £2,735,357. The award covers one completed lot for transport services. The selected supplier is iconnectcar, based in Woking. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available procurement information does not state a separate quality or price weighting. The contract is active and is for child mainstream transport services under the council’s client transport programme.

This award demonstrates a substantial, recurring requirement from Surrey County Council for dedicated child passenger transport linking schools and local communities. A credible future competitor would need to operate suitable saloon cars, provide dependable scheduled collections, and manage journeys involving children without a personal assistant. Local knowledge of Gamberley, Woking and Egham would help with route planning, punctuality and contingency arrangements. The service suits an established transport operator with capacity to maintain consistent cover throughout the school service period, strong safeguarding processes, appropriately vetted drivers and reliable communication with the council and school. Experience of mainstream school transport or comparable child and medical passenger services would strengthen a supplier’s position when this requirement next reaches the market.
