Published requirement description

Procurement description - Surrey County Council is dedicated to providing sustainable,

safe, secure, and reliable Home to School transport services that meet the needs of

students across the county. In accordance with the Education Act 1996 and subsequent

amendments, the Council ensures that eligible students have access to free or subsidized

transport to and from school.

The responsibility for providing Home to School transport services primarily lies with the

local authority, especially for students who meet specific criteria such as distance from

school, special educational needs, or disabilities. When these services require funding

support, it becomes the Council's obligation to secure such services through a competitive

tendering process.

Home to School transport services funded by Surrey County Council are essential in

ensuring that students can attend school regularly and punctually. These services help to

promote educational attainment, reduce absenteeism, and support the well-being of

students by providing a safe and reliable means of travel.

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 16 Mar 2026, 23:59 GMT.

Published award criteria (2)
  • Price
  • Quality
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 95 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 9.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Provision of Client Assisted Passenger Transport Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
