UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for Reigate Valley College on Allingham Road. The requirement covers transport for two pupils from Horley, with no passenger assistant, using one saloon vehicle. This is a local passenger transport service for school journeys, delivered between Horley and the college in the Reigate area. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement falls within transport services, excluding waste transport. It is a focused service for a small number of school-age passengers rather than a general public transport operation, and is relevant to operators able to provide reliable, suitable vehicle-based transport for an identified school route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected Blue Arrow Gatwick as the supplier. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 16 December 2026. Its value is £6,285.71 gross. The procurement used a light-touch regime and comprised one completed lot covering the transport requirement. The published outcome identifies the service category as transport services. The award is active and the contract is active. The evaluation basis is reflected in the limited competition route, with the selected supplier appointed to provide the specified school transport service.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for tightly defined school transport delivered on a specific local route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to organise dependable daily transport for pupils, understand the practical needs of school journeys, and provide a suitable saloon vehicle without relying on a passenger assistant. Local knowledge of Horley, Reigate and the college destination would support effective route planning and dependable collection and drop-off arrangements. The requirement is small in passenger numbers and operationally focused, so suppliers with the capacity to manage an individual education transport route, maintain service continuity and meet public-sector contract expectations would be well placed.
