UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for three students travelling to the RVC site at Therfield School in Leatherhead. The requirement covers journeys involving Godalming, Guildford and Leatherhead, using one medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle with six or seven passenger seats, excluding the driver. No passenger assistant is required. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract: the successful provider is expected to deliver the transport associated with the school placement. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority serving Surrey. The scope is a single service requirement covering the specified student journeys and locations, with transport activity centred on Therfield School in Leatherhead and routes from the stated Surrey towns.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was awarded to Green line cars on 4 August 2026. The contract is active, was signed on 4 August 2026, and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its gross and stated contract value is £5,841,643. The award covers the complete transport requirement as one lot. The procurement used a limited method rather than an open competition, and the published outcome identifies Green line cars as the selected supplier. The arrangement concerns child mainstream transport services for the RVC site at Therfield School, with the specified vehicle and passenger requirements forming the awarded service scope.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates substantial, repeatable demand from Surrey County Council for organised transport for children travelling to a school site. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to operate passenger transport services across Godalming, Guildford and Leatherhead, provide a medium MPV with six or seven passenger seats excluding the driver, and accommodate journeys for three students without a passenger assistant. The winning supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of council transport work can be delivered by a smaller business. Relevant capability therefore centres on reliable route operation, suitable vehicle capacity and the practical ability to serve school-related journeys across the named Surrey locations.
