Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for Staines Pupil Referral Unit. The requirement covers transport for two pupils travelling from Thames Ditton and Walton-on-Thames, with no passenger assistant required. The stated vehicle requirement is one saloon car. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction opportunity, and the work is connected with transporting children to and from the pupil referral unit. The service area therefore links Staines with Thames Ditton and Walton-on-Thames. Businesses with experience providing individual or small-group child passenger transport, using suitable saloon vehicles and operating reliably across these Surrey locations, are the closest fit for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to STL on 11 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £24,209.82, excluding or including tax as recorded in the procurement value, with the same amount shown as the gross value. The procurement is for services and used a limited procedure under the light-touch regime. The award covers the transport-services requirement for the two pupils and one saloon vehicle described above.

For a competing supplier, this award shows a defined local requirement for child passenger transport between Thames Ditton, Walton-on-Thames and Staines, involving two pupils and a single saloon vehicle without a passenger assistant. A credible provider would therefore need to organise dependable journeys for children, supply or access an appropriate saloon car, and have the operational capacity to serve the stated locations consistently. Experience in mainstream child transport or similar small-scale passenger services would be directly relevant. The procurement also demonstrates that Surrey County Council uses below-threshold limited competition for this type of service, so transport businesses able to respond through that route and deliver a focused local service would be well placed for comparable requirements from this buyer.
