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 in Leatherhead. The requirement is for a single saloon car, with no passenger assistant, serving travel between Horley and Leatherhead. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement. The council is the public-sector buyer, and the delivery locations named for the journey are Horley and Leatherhead, with Therfield School identified as the destination site. The requirement sits within the wider Client Transport Services programme for child mainstream passengers, but this procurement concerns the single stated student journey and its associated transport provision.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to RAO TRAVELS LTD. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The single requirement was awarded as one lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 5 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £3,694,714 including tax, with the same amount recorded as the contract value. The award covers transport services for the stated child mainstream journey. No separate evaluation weighting or award-criteria detail is recorded in the procurement outcome.

This outcome identifies a substantial, multi-year requirement for specialist passenger transport serving a child travelling to school, with a defined journey between Horley and Leatherhead. Suppliers considering similar Surrey County Council work would need to provide a saloon car for a single student and operate the journey reliably without a passenger assistant. The successful supplier was RAO TRAVELS LTD, showing that an established transport operator can secure this type of council requirement through a limited below-threshold competition. Relevant businesses are passenger transport operators able to organise dependable school travel, maintain suitable vehicles and manage a recurring individual route for a public-sector client.
