UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport for one child travelling to St James CE Primary School in Weybridge. The requirement is a passenger transport service using a saloon car, with no personal assistant included. This is a council-funded service for the child’s journey to and from school, rather than a general transport or fleet-services requirement. The work is delivered in and around Weybridge, Surrey, and falls within the transport services category. It is relevant to businesses operating saloon cars and providing individual or small-scale passenger transport for school-age children. The requirement is specific to one pupil and one school, so it is better suited to local or nearby operators than to suppliers focused on large-volume school transport contracts or coach operations.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to uk car service, a Woking-based SME. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 27 August 2026. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £25,263.86 including tax. There was one completed lot covering the child transport requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and the contracted service, but does not state an award scoring model or separate evaluation weighting. This was a single-supplier award rather than a multi-provider framework or split contract.

This award indicates recurring demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated, low-volume school transport delivered by a local passenger-car operator. A credible future competitor would need a suitable saloon car, the capacity to provide consistent journeys for one child, and the operational reliability needed for school travel. Familiarity with Weybridge and the surrounding Surrey road network would support practical delivery, while robust arrangements for safeguarding, punctuality, communication and contingency cover would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement is relatively small and focused, so it is likely to suit an SME or independent transport business rather than a large fleet operator. Businesses already providing child, education or council-commissioned passenger transport could use this award as evidence of the buyer’s purchasing pattern and service expectations.
