Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for the Fordway Centre. The requirement covers transport for two students, with no passenger assistant, using one saloon car. The stated journey locations are Leatherhead, Walton-on-Thames and Ashford. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement, and would suit operators able to provide regular school-related journeys for children between the named locations and the Fordway Centre. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority responsible for arranging and funding the service. The requirement is classified as transport services and relates to a single defined service package.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to STL on 5 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active, with a period running from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £2,539,125 including VAT, and the procurement was below the applicable threshold. The award covers the single transport service package for the Fordway Centre requirement. The process used a limited procurement method under the light-touch regime. The recorded tender title refers to client transport services for 2026 to 2034, while the awarded contract period is the one-year period stated above.

This award shows a substantial, defined requirement for child transport arranged by Surrey County Council, centred on journeys involving Leatherhead, Walton-on-Thames, Ashford and the Fordway Centre. A credible future competitor would need to operate passenger transport services reliably for children, provide a suitable saloon car, and manage scheduled journeys for two students without a passenger assistant. Local knowledge of the named routes and the ability to maintain dependable day-to-day provision would be commercially relevant. The requirement also indicates that Surrey County Council uses a limited-competition route for below-threshold, light-touch transport services. Operators monitoring this buyer should therefore be able to demonstrate practical delivery capacity for similarly focused education transport packages.
