UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of London procured termly school transport on the Ashtead Shuttle route for the 2026–27 academic year. The requirement is for public-service bus transport supporting school travel on this route. The buying organisation is The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London. The procurement comprises one lot, covering the shuttle transport requirement. The route name identifies the service, while no delivery address or further route description is provided in the procurement details. This is a transport service for suppliers operating school or scheduled bus services, rather than a purchase of vehicles.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Gatwick Hoppa Ltd. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £93,366. The award is active and covers the single lot. The buyer used a below-threshold limited competition procedure. No award date or evaluation criteria are stated in the available process details, so the published outcome identifies the selected supplier but does not explain how bids were assessed.

This award demonstrates demand from the City of London for termly school transport on the Ashtead Shuttle route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to operate public-service buses and be able to provide a dependable school transport service aligned with the academic year and term-time needs. Experience planning and delivering regular passenger transport on a defined route would be commercially relevant. The buyer used a limited competition for this below-threshold requirement, so suppliers able to respond to a restricted approach, as well as deliver the transport itself, are better placed to compete when a similar requirement returns to market.
