Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for six students attending the RVC site at Therfield School in Leatherhead. The requirement is for one large multi-purpose vehicle with eight passenger seats, excluding the driver, and no passenger assistant. Services cover journeys involving Farnham, Guildford and Leatherhead. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement is focused on transporting school-age passengers safely and reliably between the stated Surrey locations, using a vehicle of the specified capacity. It is a single service requirement rather than a set of separately described goods, works or transport infrastructure projects.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Green line cars through a below-threshold limited competition. The award is active and the contract is active. The award date and signing date were 4 August 2026. The contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £4,457,229 including tax, and the procurement was below the applicable threshold. One completed lot covered the requirement. The published title describes the service as Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – Child Mainstream, although the contracted period is 2026 to 2028. The process used the light-touch regime and a limited procurement method.

This requirement indicates demand for specialist school passenger transport in Surrey, at a substantial service scale and over a sustained operating period. A credible competitor would need to provide a large MPV with eight passenger seats excluding the driver, and organise dependable transport for six students across Farnham, Guildford and Leatherhead, including journeys to the RVC site at Therfield School. Relevant capability includes managing regular education transport routes, maintaining suitable vehicles, scheduling drivers and meeting the practical needs of child passengers. The completed limited competition also shows that the buyer uses a focused route to market for below-threshold transport requirements. Suppliers with comparable local coverage, operational capacity and experience delivering child mainstream transport would be well placed for a future requirement of this type.
