The contract focuses on transporting students from Cobham, KT11, to Thames Ditton Junior School, KT7 0BS, and involves the provision of a saloon vehicle with four passenger seats. The procurement falls under the limited competition category as per the below threshold guidelines and is regulated under the UK's light touch regime. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and is scheduled to begin on 1 September 2026, lasting until 31 July 2029, with a total contract value of £6,080,000 GBP.
