UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for the Hope Project in Guildford and a pupil journey involving Lightwater. The requirement covered one pupil for the Hope Project route, with no passenger assistant, and one saloon vehicle for the Lightwater journey. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement. The work concerns individual child journeys and therefore suits operators able to provide safe, reliable and appropriately managed transport for pupils. Delivery takes place in Guildford and Lightwater, within Surrey. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a local public authority. The procurement falls under transport services, covering the planned journeys and vehicle provision needed to deliver them.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One completed lot covered the requirement. Hilz Transport was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 21 August 2026. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with a gross value of £7,072. The award is for transport services and was handled under the light-touch regime. The evaluation outcome is recorded through the completed tender and active award, with Hilz Transport named against the single requirement. The contract title covers Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – Child Mainstream, although the awarded contract period published for this requirement is one year. The procurement was below the applicable threshold.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Surrey County Council for specialist child transport involving a single pupil journey, a saloon vehicle and no passenger assistant. Competitors would need practical experience of transporting children safely and reliably, together with the operational capacity to provide an appropriate saloon vehicle and manage journeys around Guildford and Lightwater. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller transport operator rather than only a large fleet business. A credible future supplier would need robust scheduling, dependable driver and vehicle availability, safeguarding-aware operating procedures and the ability to maintain consistent service for an individual pupil. The council’s use of a limited competition also makes familiarity with concise, targeted local authority transport requirements commercially relevant.
