Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - Child Mainstream" contract. This transport service is aimed at assisting with client transport for school children in the region of Woking, United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted using a limited method, indicating a below-threshold limited competition approach. The contract has been awarded to Woking Cars, with the service period set to commence on 1st September 2026 and extend through 31st July 2029. The procurement falls under the light-touch regime and is categorised as a service within the transport industry, excluding waste transport. The contract has been valued at GBP 7,980,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the transport services industry, particularly those experienced in providing school transport solutions. The limited competition method used in this procurement process suggests that smaller enterprises, like SMEs, which can offer localised, efficient transport solutions, would have been well-positioned to secure this contract. As such, businesses with capabilities in managing flexible and child-focussed transport services are likely to find ample growth opportunities in similar future tenders from public authorities like Surrey County Council.
