## Summary

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for Reigate Valley College on Allingham Road. The requirement covers transport for two pupils from Dorking, using one saloon vehicle and with no passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement. Delivery is linked to the college and the pupils’ journey from Dorking, within Surrey. The service sits within the council’s education transport activity and is intended to provide regular travel for school pupils. Businesses operating school transport, private hire, taxi, executive car or other contracted passenger services may find the requirement relevant, particularly those able to provide a suitable saloon and manage dependable pupil journeys.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council used a limited procedure under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded separately to James Cars. The award is active and the contract was signed on 7 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £5,642.86 gross, in pounds sterling. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 16 December 2026. The published requirement identifies transport services as the procurement category. The recorded outcome is a single supplier award to James Cars, rather than a multi-supplier arrangement or several separate awards. The process status is complete.

This award shows a defined requirement for small-scale, regular child transport serving Surrey County Council and a school in the Reigate area. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide a saloon vehicle, carry two pupils from Dorking, and operate without a passenger assistant where the specification permits. The work suits passenger transport operators, private hire businesses and taxi firms with reliable vehicles, appropriately authorised drivers, effective safeguarding arrangements and the capacity to manage scheduled school journeys consistently. The council’s use of a below-threshold limited competition also indicates that suppliers should be able to respond through a focused, relatively small procurement route and present clear evidence of operational reliability.
