Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for Reigate Valley College, Phoenix Campus. The requirement covered transport for one pupil from Horley, with no personal assistant required, using a saloon vehicle. The work is a passenger transport service supporting travel to and from the college. Delivery is centred on the pupil’s journey between Horley and Reigate Valley College in Surrey. The council is the public-sector buyer. The requirement is specific to a single-pupil journey rather than a wider school transport network, so it is most relevant to operators providing individual or small-scale education transport with an appropriately suitable vehicle and reliable local coverage in the Reigate and Horley area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Parkers of Reigate Ltd. The award was made on 7 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2027. Its value is £1,527.86 gross. The procedure was a limited competition under the light-touch regime. The published outcome identifies transport services as the procurement category, with CPV 60000000. The contract covers the single requirement for one pupil travelling from Horley to Reigate Valley College, using a saloon and without a personal assistant. No separate evaluation weighting or award criteria are stated.

This award shows a defined local demand for individual mainstream school transport rather than a large fleet operation. Competitors would need to provide a suitable saloon vehicle and dependable daily transport for one pupil, with the ability to serve the Horley–Reigate journey and meet the practical needs of travel to Reigate Valley College’s Phoenix Campus. A credible supplier would be an established local passenger transport operator able to organise consistent journeys, maintain reliable availability across the school year and deliver a service appropriate for a child travelling without a personal assistant. The successful supplier was an SME based in Reigate, indicating that this type of requirement can suit smaller operators with local coverage and direct operational control.
