UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for one child travelling to and from St Bartholomew’s Church of England Primary School in Haslemere. The requirement is for a saloon car, with no personal assistant required. The work falls within transport services and is intended to provide the child’s school travel arrangements. Delivery is centred on the route serving the school in Haslemere, Surrey. This is a local authority passenger transport requirement rather than a general school transport framework: the published scope relates to a single child, a named primary school and a specified vehicle type. Businesses suited to individual assisted or non-assisted school journeys may find the requirement relevant, particularly operators already working in Surrey and the surrounding area.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It comprised one lot. The contract was awarded to Sonic Carz on 27 August 2026 and signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £45,600 gross. The selected supplier is an SME. The procurement record identifies transport services as the relevant category and confirms that the contract is below the applicable threshold. The outcome is therefore a completed award for a defined school transport service, rather than an ongoing competitive process or an unawarded opportunity.

This procurement indicates demand from Surrey County Council for reliable, small-scale school transport serving an individual child and a named school. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide a suitable saloon car and deliver regular journeys consistently on a school route, without relying on a personal assistant for this particular service. The awarded supplier’s SME status also shows that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller local operator rather than only by a large transport company. Businesses with practical experience of contracted school runs, local route planning and dependable passenger transport operations would be well placed to assess similar Surrey requirements when they return to market.
