## Summary

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for Oaklands Primary Academy in Westerham. The requirement covers transport for six primary-aged pupils travelling from Warlingham, with no passenger assistant required. Delivery involves one large multi-purpose vehicle with eight seats, suitable for pupils who require car seats. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract: the successful provider is responsible for carrying the pupils on the specified school journey. The procurement falls within general transport services and concerns a single school transport requirement in Surrey, serving Oaklands Primary Academy and the pupils travelling from Warlingham. It is relevant to operators providing compliant, child-focused school transport using appropriately sized vehicles and car-seat arrangements.

The procurement has been awarded and the lot is complete. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was awarded to 24x7 Surrey on 26 August 2026. The contract is active, signed on the same date, and runs from 1 September 2026 to 29 July 2027. Its value is £31,426.09 including tax. One supplier was selected for the single requirement. The award covers transport services for the related school journey and is classified under CPV 60000000. The recorded procurement method was limited, with the method described as a below-threshold limited competition. The outcome provides a clear example of the council’s route for buying a defined, below-threshold child transport service.

This award shows demand from Surrey County Council for a tightly defined school transport operation rather than a broad fleet-management contract. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to operate an eight-seat MPV, accommodate primary-aged children requiring car seats, and reliably transport six pupils on a regular journey between Warlingham and Oaklands Primary Academy in Westerham. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused local or regional transport business rather than only a large national operator. Suppliers should be comfortable with below-threshold limited competitions and the light-touch regime, and should be able to evidence dependable child passenger transport, suitable vehicle capacity and safe practical arrangements for school journeys.
