UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for a route involving the RVC site at Therfield School in Leatherhead. The requirement covers transport for one student, with no personal assistant, using one saloon car. The journey is between Guildford and Leatherhead, so the work is relevant to operators able to provide dependable scheduled school transport across these locations. The procurement is for services rather than vehicles or infrastructure, and falls within transport services excluding waste transport. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation and the requirement is associated with its responsibilities for arranging transport for children. The service is specific and small-scale, centred on a single passenger and a defined vehicle type and route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Surrey Auto Travel, an SME, under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 17 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £29,457.86 gross. The selected supplier is responsible for the transport service described: one student, no personal assistant, one saloon car, and travel between Guildford and Leatherhead for the RVC site at Therfield School in Leatherhead. The published outcome identifies transport services as the procurement category; no separate quality or price weighting is stated in the award information.

This procurement shows demand from Surrey County Council for specialist, reliable passenger transport serving an individual child on a defined school-related route. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this kind would be small or specialist transport operators able to provide a suitable saloon car, consistent school-day availability and dependable journeys between Guildford and Leatherhead. The work also favours businesses able to manage child passenger transport responsibly, maintain clear communication with the council and accommodate a service where no personal assistant travels with the student. Operators with local route knowledge, appropriate vehicle availability and experience delivering regular education or client transport would have a credible basis for competing when this requirement is next considered.
