UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for one student travelling to the RVC site at Therfield School. The requirement covers transport between Cobham and Leatherhead, using one saloon car and no passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or infrastructure contract. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, and the service is intended to support a child’s regular journey to and from the school site. Businesses relevant to this requirement are operators able to provide safe, dependable individual student transport over the Cobham–Leatherhead route, with suitable vehicles and arrangements for delivering the service without a passenger assistant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to K and M Cars. The award was made on 4 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028, with a value of £2,196,857 including gross value as reported. The tender was evaluated through the limited competition process; the published information identifies the requirement and selected supplier but does not set out separate scoring criteria. This outcome records a completed award rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This award demonstrates Surrey County Council’s demand for contracted, individual child transport linked to a school journey between Cobham and Leatherhead. A supplier seeking to compete for comparable work would need to operate a saloon car suitable for one student, provide consistent route coverage, and deliver reliable school transport without a passenger assistant. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused local or regional operator rather than only a large transport group. Relevant capability includes dependable scheduling around school attendance, safe passenger handling, continuity of service, and the operational capacity to maintain the route throughout the contract period.
