UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for The Priory CE School. The requirement covers transport for six pupils, with no passenger assistant, using one large multi-purpose vehicle with eight passenger seats, excluding the driver. The service operates between Newdigate, Beare Green and Dorking, in Surrey. This is a passenger transport and school transport requirement rather than a vehicle supply contract: the relevant supplier would provide the transport service for school-aged children along the stated route. Mole Valley District Council is identified as the selected service provider, while Surrey County Council is the buying organisation. The requirement is a single transport service package covering the stated pupils, vehicle type and journey locations.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Mole Valley District Council received the award for the transport service. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £87,400 gross. The award date is 24 August 2026. The requirement was arranged as one lot, covering transport for The Priory CE School. The published outcome identifies the transport services classification, but does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings. The selected supplier is a large organisation, and the contract is recorded as active.

This procurement shows Surrey County Council’s demand for dedicated home-to-school transport for a small group of pupils, using a large MPV rather than a standard car or minibus. A credible future competitor would need access to a suitable vehicle with eight passenger seats excluding the driver, and the operational capacity to transport six children without a passenger assistant. It would also need to plan and deliver reliable journeys connecting Newdigate, Beare Green and Dorking with The Priory CE School. Experience in passenger transport and the practical management of school journeys would be directly relevant. The limited-competition route and below-threshold scale indicate an opportunity suited to an established local operator able to provide a focused service package for the council.
