Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for Cobham Free School (Munro House). The requirement covers transport for two pupils from Leatherhead, using one saloon vehicle and no passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service delivered between Leatherhead and Cobham, supporting school travel for children. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement falls within transport services, excluding waste transport. The requirement is focused on a defined school transport route and a small number of passengers, rather than a broad transport network or general passenger service. It may suit local taxi, private hire or specialist school transport operators with suitable vehicles and the operational ability to provide reliable scheduled journeys for children.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to AT YOUR SERVICE. The award was made on 29 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 30 July 2027, with a value of £1,802,286 including gross value, in GBP. The successful supplier is AT YOUR SERVICE, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The recorded tender status is complete. The contract concerns the single child mainstream transport requirement for Cobham Free School, covering the two-pupil Leatherhead journey with one saloon and no passenger assistant.

This award shows established demand from Surrey County Council for contracted, child-focused school transport on a defined local route. A credible future competitor would need to operate a saloon vehicle, provide dependable and appropriately managed journeys for two pupils, and plan transport between Leatherhead and Cobham Free School (Munro House). The requirement is suited to a small local operator as well as a larger transport business able to support individual school routes. Relevant strengths would include reliable vehicle availability, careful journey planning, punctuality during school hours, safeguarding-minded passenger handling and the capacity to maintain consistent service throughout the school year. Experience delivering mainstream school transport would help demonstrate that the operator understands the practical requirements of recurring education journeys.
