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 journeys between Epsom and Leatherhead. The work falls within transport services, excluding waste transport. This is a local passenger transport requirement for a school-age client, rather than a general school transport framework or fleet supply contract. Delivery is centred on Therfield School in Leatherhead, with the route connecting Epsom and Leatherhead. The council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement sits within its wider client transport service provision.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to K and G Transportation Services through a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 4 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The awarded value is £2,296,714, including tax, for the single transport requirement. The procurement used the light-touch regime and one completed lot. The published outcome identifies K and G Transportation Services as the selected supplier. The evaluation basis recorded for this limited competition is the procedure itself; no separate award criteria are stated in the procurement data.

This requirement is relevant to passenger transport operators able to provide dependable, safe saloon-car journeys for a school-age client between Epsom and Leatherhead. A credible future competitor would need suitable vehicles, reliable drivers and the operational capacity to maintain a regular education-related route over a sustained contract period. Experience of individual passenger transport, school or local-authority work would help demonstrate reliability, safeguarding awareness and the ability to manage a service involving one student without a passenger assistant. Local knowledge of Epsom, Leatherhead and the surrounding road network would support practical delivery. The council’s use of a below-threshold limited competition also indicates a route that smaller specialist transport businesses may be able to follow when similar requirements return.
