Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for four students travelling to the RVC site at Therfield School in Leatherhead. The requirement covers journeys involving Oxted, Caterham, Redhill and Leatherhead. The service is for students who do not require a passenger assistant and requires one medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle with six or seven passenger seats, excluding the driver. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract, with delivery centred on school and student transport across the named Surrey locations. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement was structured as one requirement covering the described transport service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made to Parkers of Reigate Ltd on 4 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £5,392,286. The award is for the single transport-services requirement and is recorded as active. The procedure was conducted under the light-touch regime. Surrey County Council selected Parkers of Reigate Ltd as the supplier. The contract is below the relevant threshold. The tender title described the requirement as Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – Child Mainstream, although the awarded contract period is the period stated above.

This procurement demonstrates substantial demand from Surrey County Council for scheduled child transport delivered to a school site and across Oxted, Caterham, Redhill and Leatherhead. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide reliable passenger transport for school-age children, operate a medium MPV with six or seven passenger seats excluding the driver, and support journeys where no passenger assistant is required. Local operational coverage across the named towns would be relevant, as would the capacity to manage transport for four students consistently. The successful supplier was Parkers of Reigate Ltd, identified as an SME, indicating that this type of council transport service can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator rather than only a large national business.
