## Summary

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for one child without a personal assistant. The requirement covers transport to and from Peaslake Infant School, serving the Sutton Abinger and Gomshall area. The service is a passenger transport operation using a saloon car, rather than a larger vehicle or passenger assistant-supported arrangement. This is a local school transport requirement for a named route and individual passenger, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide reliable, regular journeys in and around Surrey. The work falls within transport services, covering the movement of passengers rather than vehicle supply, road construction, freight or waste transport. The council is the public-sector buyer and user of the service.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to SM Cars. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award date was 24 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £48,430.71 gross. The procurement consisted of one completed lot covering the specified school transport requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The selected supplier is SM Cars, based in Woking. The procurement was evaluated through the council’s limited competition process; the published information identifies the transport service and route requirement but does not set out a separate evaluation weighting.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to provide dependable school transport for an individual child, using a suitable saloon car and covering the relevant Surrey route between the Sutton Abinger or Gomshall area and Peaslake Infant School. The award shows that a small local operator can meet this type of council requirement without a personal assistant provision. Relevant capability includes consistent scheduled journeys, safe passenger handling, punctuality around school hours, route familiarity and suitable operational capacity for a regular single-passenger service. A supplier would also need to understand the council’s requirements for child transport and demonstrate that its vehicle and operating arrangements are appropriate for the passenger and journey. Local availability and resilience would strengthen credibility.
