UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for one student travelling to the RVC site at Therfield School in Leatherhead. The requirement is for a saloon car, with no passenger assistant, serving the Redhill and Leatherhead areas. This is a passenger transport service rather than a goods or construction contract. The council is the public-sector buyer and the service concerns an individual school journey. The procurement falls within transport services, excluding waste transport. It is relevant to operators able to provide reliable school transport for a child passenger using a saloon vehicle, with the operational ability to cover the journey between Redhill and Leatherhead and support travel to the Therfield School site.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council awarded the requirement to STL on 4 August 2026. The contract is valued at £3,495,000 gross, in total for the awarded requirement. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028, and the contract was signed on 4 August 2026. There was one completed lot covering the child transport service. The award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement used a light-touch regime and a limited procurement method; the available outcome information identifies the selected supplier but does not set out separate evaluation weightings.

This award demonstrates a substantial, recurring requirement from Surrey County Council for managed child transport between Redhill and Leatherhead, including travel to Therfield School in Leatherhead. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would be passenger transport operators able to provide a suitable saloon car and dependable journeys for an individual school-age passenger without a passenger assistant. They would need to plan and deliver the specified route consistently over a school-year service period, with the operational capacity to meet Surrey County Council’s transport arrangements. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold limited competition also indicates that operators should be prepared to respond through a focused, council-led competition rather than a large open-market exercise.
