UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for five children travelling to Woking High School between Guildford and Woking. The requirement is for a medium multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) and does not include a personal assistant. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, construction or general logistics. The work is associated with school journeys in the Woking and Guildford area, with the council as the public-sector buyer. The requirement is focused on a defined school transport route and a small passenger group, making it relevant to operators with suitable MPV vehicles and the operational capacity to provide dependable transport for five children on that route.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used a single lot and the award is active. Surrey County Council selected MPCars as the supplier. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026, runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, and is valued at £82,840 gross. The service category is transport services. The published outcome identifies the contract as a light-touch procurement. The award covers the child mainstream transport requirement for five children travelling to Woking High School between Guildford and Woking in a medium MPV, without a personal assistant. No detailed scoring or weighting basis is provided for the award.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for school passenger transport on a Guildford–Woking route, using a medium MPV for a small group of five children. Suppliers seeking to compete when this buyer’s requirement returns would need suitable medium-sized passenger vehicles, the ability to operate regular journeys to Woking High School, and sufficient day-to-day capacity to cover the identified route and passenger numbers. The buyer used a below-threshold limited competition, so businesses monitoring Surrey County Council’s transport requirements would benefit from being ready to respond to a focused, route-specific process rather than a large network-wide service. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, indicating the requirement can suit an established transport operator.
