UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for one student travelling to the RVC site at Therfield School. The requirement is for a saloon car, with no passenger assistant, serving Caterham and Leatherhead. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply or infrastructure work. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a local public authority based in Reigate. The service concerns an individual school journey and requires the operator to provide suitable transport for a child between the specified locations and the school site. It is relevant to transport operators, taxi and private-hire businesses, and other providers able to deliver reliable child passenger journeys using a saloon car.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The tender used a light-touch regime and comprised one requirement. Asiana cars ltd, an SME, received the active award. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and has a gross value of £4,443,643. Its contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The published evaluation basis is the limited-competition procedure rather than an open competition. The awarded service covers the single student, no-passenger-assistant saloon-car requirement associated with the RVC site at Therfield School, with journeys involving Caterham and Leatherhead. The contract remains active.

This award demonstrates substantial, sustained demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated child transport using a saloon car and a defined school route. A credible future competitor would need to provide dependable daily passenger transport, appropriate safeguarding arrangements for carrying a child, and the operational capacity to maintain punctual journeys throughout the school service period. Local knowledge of Caterham, Leatherhead, Reigate and the Therfield School area would support route planning and resilience. The requirement also suits a small transport business: the selected supplier is recorded as an SME. Operators should be able to manage school-time scheduling, vehicle availability, driver cover and communications with the council while delivering a consistent service without a passenger assistant.
