About

Surrey County Council awarded a contract to East Surrey Rural Transport Partnership for the operation of the Surrey Connect Digital Demand Responsive Transport (DDRT) bus service in the Surrey East operating area, encompassing up to six buses and a booking call centre.

The contract, valued at £2,794,686, was tendered as a 2+1-year contract via the Public Bus Dynamic Purchasing System.

The service enables residents to book on-demand bus journeys up to 7 days in advance or 30 minutes before travel, improving access to sustainable travel where traditional bus services are limited.

This retendering for Surrey East followed unsuccessful bids in January 2024, with the scope adjusted to allow diesel buses in the first year due to a lack of charging options in Tandridge.
