UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for St Ann’s Heath Junior School. The requirement covers transport for four pupils travelling from Chertsey, with no passenger assistant required, using one saloon car. The service is a local passenger transport operation supporting school attendance and daily journeys. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer, and delivery is centred on the route between Chertsey and the school. The work falls within transport services, covering the provision and operation of an appropriate vehicle and the reliable transportation of the named pupils. This opportunity is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and specialist school transport providers with suitable vehicles, safeguarding arrangements and the capacity to provide dependable scheduled journeys for children.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Eagle Cab Ltd was selected for the single requirement. The award was made on 3 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross and net value is £6,156,000. The procurement used a light-touch regime and was not divided into multiple awarded requirements. The contract concerns transport services for the school route described, with one saloon car carrying four pupils and no passenger assistant. The available outcome information identifies Eagle Cab Ltd as the appointed supplier; the published process does not set out a separate scored evaluation breakdown.

This award demonstrates substantial, sustained demand from Surrey County Council for contracted child transport, centred on regular school journeys and individual route requirements. A competitor seeking similar work would need to operate suitable saloon cars, organise dependable daily transport for pupils, and manage journeys from local communities to schools. The requirement also indicates the importance of serving small passenger groups efficiently, rather than relying only on larger vehicles or shared routes. Credible suppliers would benefit from experience in school or passenger transport, robust safeguarding and driver-checking procedures, reliable scheduling, contingency arrangements for vehicle or driver disruption, and the administrative capacity to meet council requirements. Local taxi and private-hire operators with established coverage in Surrey may be well placed when comparable council transport requirements return to market.
