Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for its education and passenger transport requirements. The specific service transports two students to the RVC site at Therfield School in Leatherhead, with no passenger assistant required. The operation uses one saloon car and covers the Cranleigh and Leatherhead areas. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general education contract. Suppliers suited to the requirement are those able to provide reliable school-related journeys for children, operate a saloon car and manage the route between the stated locations. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority responsible for arranging the service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to iconnectcar following a below-threshold limited competition. It used the light-touch regime and a limited procurement method. One lot was awarded, with transport services classified under CPV 60000000. 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. Its gross and stated value is £4,393,714. Surrey County Council selected iconnectcar as the supplier. The requirement covered the single specified child transport service for two students, with no passenger assistant, using one saloon car.

This award provides a clear example of Surrey County Council’s demand for managed child passenger transport between Cranleigh and Leatherhead. A credible future competitor would need to provide a suitable saloon car, dependable journey planning and consistent delivery for two students travelling to a named school site. The absence of a passenger assistant requirement focuses the service on vehicle provision and driving rather than passenger support staffing. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate safe, reliable school transport operations, punctuality and the capacity to maintain the agreed route throughout the service period. Experience of working with a local authority, handling child passengers and responding to a limited competition would strengthen a comparable offering.
