UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for pupils attending Kings International College in Surrey. The requirement covers transport for four pupils, with no personal assistant required, using one saloon car. This is a passenger transport service supporting travel to and from the school rather than a general fleet, vehicle supply or infrastructure contract. The work is located in Surrey, with the awarded supplier based in Woking. Businesses relevant to this requirement include operators providing school and passenger transport, particularly those able to plan and deliver regular journeys for a small number of children using a suitable saloon vehicle. The procurement falls within the broad transport services category, covering transport services other than waste transport.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Traveline Transport Services. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 28 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2030. The awarded contract value is £9,594,714 gross. One lot covered the requirement, and one active award was recorded for the full stated service. The outcome represents an established council requirement for contracted child transport over a multi-year period. The procurement record identifies the transport service category but does not set out a separate published evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This award indicates substantial, sustained demand from Surrey County Council for contracted transport for school-age children. A credible future competitor would need to provide safe, dependable passenger transport for pupils travelling to Kings International College, with the operational capability to serve four pupils without a personal assistant and to use a saloon car appropriately. Relevant strengths include reliable daily route planning, punctual school journeys, suitable vehicles, competent drivers and robust arrangements for safeguarding and continuity of service. The requirement is suited to transport operators able to manage a focused school contract rather than only large-scale public transport networks. Traveline Transport Services is recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller specialist operator can be involved in delivering this council requirement.
