Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned child mainstream client transport services for pupils travelling to Loxwood CP in Billingshurst and in Cranleigh. The requirement covers five pupils, with no passenger assistant, and one large MPV to accommodate car seats. This is a passenger transport service rather than goods, construction or professional consultancy work. The operating requirement centres on transporting children between their home and school destinations in the stated locations, using an appropriately sized vehicle. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer. The requirement is presented as a single service package, covering transport provision for the identified pupils and routes. It may suit operators providing school and children’s transport with suitable vehicle capacity.

The procurement is complete, with an active award and active contract following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It comprised one lot. MPCars was selected as the supplier, with the award made on 1 September 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 2 September 2026 to 1 September 2027. Its gross value is £2,612.86. The procurement was titled Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – Child Mainstream, although the awarded contract period covers the dates stated above. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier, contract period and value, but does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This award provides a clear example of Surrey County Council’s demand for local child passenger transport: a defined school journey, a small number of pupils, and a vehicle requirement shaped by car seats. A credible competitor would need to operate reliable school transport in the Billingshurst and Cranleigh area, provide a large MPV suitable for the specified passenger arrangements, and manage journeys for five pupils without relying on a passenger assistant. The opportunity is suited to an established transport operator with practical route-planning, driver availability and the capacity to deliver a dedicated, small-scale education transport service. The use of a below-threshold limited competition also indicates a procurement route relevant to operators able to engage with targeted council competitions.
