UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for three students travelling to the RVC site at Therfield School, Leatherhead. The service covers journeys involving Godalming, Guildford, Woking and Leatherhead. The requirement is for one medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle with six or seven passenger seats, excluding the driver, and does not require a passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle-only supply: the successful provider is responsible for transporting the children associated with the school placement. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority based in Reigate. The service therefore suits transport operators able to provide child-focused passenger journeys across the stated Surrey locations using an appropriately sized MPV.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. There was one completed lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to STL on 4 August 2026 for £6,490,714 gross. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The award covers the transport service for the three students and the specified MPV requirement. The procedure was conducted under the light-touch regime. The published outcome records the award as active and the contract as active. This is therefore an awarded contract rather than an opportunity for suppliers to submit bids, with STL selected as the provider for the requirement.

This award shows a substantial requirement for regular school-related passenger transport serving Surrey routes between Godalming, Guildford, Woking and Leatherhead. A credible future competitor would need experience delivering safe, dependable child passenger transport, with the operational capacity to support journeys for three students attending the RVC site at Therfield School. The required vehicle profile is specific: one medium MPV offering six or seven passenger seats, not counting the driver. Operators should therefore be able to provide and maintain a suitable vehicle, plan reliable routes across the named locations, and meet the practical demands of mainstream school transport without a passenger assistant. The limited-competition route also indicates a need to understand concise, buyer-led procurement exercises.
