UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for a student travelling to the RVC site at Therfield School, Leatherhead. The requirement covers one student, with no personal assistant, using one saloon car. The journey links Walton-on-Thames and Leatherhead, so the work is relevant to passenger transport operators able to provide reliable school and education travel between these locations. The procurement is for transport services rather than vehicle supply, construction or general passenger transport. The named buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a local authority. The requirement is a single service package covering the specified student journey and vehicle arrangement. It demonstrates a defined need for dedicated child transport using a standard saloon car, with service delivery centred on Leatherhead and Walton-on-Thames.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected HomeSafe Transport Ltd for the transport services. The award was made on 4 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028, with a gross value of £2,945,786. The contract is below the relevant threshold and uses the light-touch regime. The process comprised one completed lot covering the specified student transport requirement. Evaluation was conducted through the limited competition route; the published data does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The award remains active and the contract remains active for the stated service period.

This award shows that Surrey County Council purchases substantial, dedicated transport services for individual children travelling to education sites, including journeys requiring a saloon car and no passenger assistant. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be specialist school or passenger transport operators with dependable access to suitable cars, experienced drivers and robust safeguarding arrangements for transporting children. Operational credibility would also depend on punctual journey planning, consistent service between Walton-on-Thames and Leatherhead, contingency cover for vehicle or driver problems, and the capacity to manage a long-running individual route. The selected supplier is a large transport business, indicating that scale, organisational resilience and the ability to sustain performance over the full contract term may matter alongside the vehicle itself. Familiarity with local authority transport requirements would strengthen a future competitor’s position.
