Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision at Edward Pauling Primary School. The requirement covers a saloon car for one pupil, providing the morning journey only. In practical terms, this is a dedicated school transport service rather than a general passenger transport arrangement, with the vehicle and operating model matched to a single pupil’s scheduled morning travel. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority based at County Hall in Kingston upon Thames. The procurement is classified as transport services (CPV 60000000) and is focused on supporting access to education at Edward Pauling Primary School.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. Eagle Cab Ltd was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 16 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £880,071 gross, including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is recorded as active. The procurement relates to one completed requirement, with the award covering the SEND client transport service described above. The published outcome identifies the supplier and contract terms, but does not set out a separate weighting or scoring basis for evaluation.

This procurement demonstrates a substantial, defined requirement for dedicated SEND school transport from Surrey County Council. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be passenger transport operators able to provide a suitable saloon car and deliver a reliable morning journey for an individual pupil. The requirement favours businesses that can organise single-passenger school transport rather than only high-volume or shared-route operations. Eagle Cab Ltd is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this type of council transport service can be delivered by an SME. Relevant competitors should therefore be able to evidence dependable vehicle availability, operational coordination and experience delivering pupil-focused transport services for the council’s education network.
