UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils travelling to Heathermount School. The requirement covers transport for four students from Staines-upon-Thames, using a medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle. No personal assistant is required. The service is a passenger transport operation focused on providing the specified school journey for these pupils. Businesses relevant to this requirement are operators able to provide suitable vehicles and reliable transport services for children and young people with SEND, serving the Staines-upon-Thames and Heathermount School area. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement falls within transport services, excluding waste transport.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Eagle Cab Ltd. The award was active and the contract was signed on 16 July 2026. The contract value is £6,583,500 including gross value, in GBP. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender title describes the wider service as Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND, while the awarded contract covers the Heathermount School requirement. It uses the light-touch regime. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one transport-services requirement. The contract is active, and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from Surrey County Council for organised SEND school transport delivered through a limited-competition route. A credible future competitor would need to operate a medium MPV, provide dependable scheduled passenger transport for four students, and cover journeys between Staines-upon-Thames and Heathermount School. Practical strengths would include robust vehicle availability, reliable driver scheduling, safeguarding arrangements appropriate to transporting children and young people with SEND, and the ability to maintain consistent service quality throughout the school year. The requirement does not call for a personal assistant, so operators focused on vehicle-and-driver provision may be well aligned. Smaller transport businesses can be relevant: the selected supplier is identified as an SME. Experience delivering contracted education or specialist passenger transport would strengthen a bid when comparable work returns to market.
