Tender 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.

About the buyer
Surrey County Council buys as a local government organisation, with procurement led by its own Director of Procurement. Suppliers register on the Proactis Supplier Network, the e-sourcing portal used for major tenders and requests for quotation. Registered suppliers can express interest and submit bids for live opportunities directly through that portal. The same Proactis system manages contracts, purchase orders and invoices once a contract is awarded. Larger procurements are advertised through the Find a Tender service under the Procurement Act 2023. The Surrey-i website separately lists the council's live contracts register for suppliers to check ongoing work.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
