UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for Send CE First School in Woking. The requirement covers transport for eight pupils from Ripley and Woking, with no passenger assistant and one MVP vehicle. This is a passenger transport service rather than a goods supply or construction project. Delivery is centred on Woking and Ripley, serving the school journey for the named pupils. Businesses relevant to this requirement include taxi, private-hire, minibus and other passenger transport operators able to provide reliable school transport for children. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The recorded service category is transport services, excluding waste transport, under CPV 60000000.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot and tender are recorded as complete. Woking Cars was awarded the contract by Surrey County Council, and the contract was signed on 4 August 2026. The contract value is £7,980,000 gross, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The procurement used the light-touch regime and a limited procedure. The award is active and the contract is active. The outcome relates to one requirement: child mainstream transport for Send CE First School in Woking, covering eight pupils from Ripley and Woking, with no passenger assistant and one MVP vehicle.

For a competitor, this award demonstrates sustained demand from Surrey County Council for contracted child passenger transport around Woking and Ripley. A credible supplier for the same requirement would need to provide dependable school transport for a small, defined group of pupils, organise journeys serving Send CE First School, and operate within the stated no-passenger-assistant and one-MVP-vehicle arrangements. The awarded supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that this type of council requirement can be delivered by a smaller local transport business rather than only a national operator. Relevant strengths would therefore include suitable passenger vehicles, experienced drivers, robust daily route planning, safeguarding-focused operational controls and the capacity to maintain reliable service throughout the school transport requirement.
