Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, a sub-central government public authority, has completed the procurement process for the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - Child Mainstream" project. This contract pertains to the transportation industry, specifically focusing on child mainstream client transport services. The services will be provided at the RVC Site at Therfield School in Leatherhead, catering to two students using one saloon car. Surrey County Council, based in Reigate, acted as the buyer, while County Cabs Limited was awarded the contract. The procurement followed a 'limited' method due to it being below the threshold with limited competition. The contract, signed on 4th August 2026, will be active from 1st September 2026 until 31st July 2028, with a value of approximately £4,593,429 GBP.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities for transport service providers, especially small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in student and mainstream transportation. Given the contract's focus on client transport for educational purposes, businesses with experience in coordinating safe and efficient transport for schools would be well-suited. Additionally, due to its 'light touch' regime, the procurement method may offer slightly less stringent requirements, enabling more competitive opportunities for local suppliers like County Cabs Limited, which operates from Surrey, UK.
