UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for a pupil with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers transport between Farney Close and Ash, Haywards Heath, using one saloon car for one pupil, with no passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, facilities management or general fleet provision. The work is commissioned by Surrey County Council and relates to a specific education transport journey. Businesses suited to this requirement are likely to be passenger transport operators able to provide reliable, appropriately managed car journeys for a young person, with the operational capacity to cover the route and meet the needs of the passenger.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One contract was awarded to Zedcarz Limited. The award was made on 17 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. It is valued at £934,286 gross, inclusive of the stated amount, in GBP. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement used the light-touch regime and covered one requirement for SEND client transport services. The published outcome records the award as active and the contract as active. The available process information identifies the route, vehicle and passenger requirement, but does not state a separate weighted evaluation formula.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a substantial, defined requirement for individual SEND education transport from Surrey County Council. A credible competitor for similar work would need dependable passenger transport operations, access to a suitable saloon car and the capacity to provide a consistent service for a single pupil over the school-year period. Practical strength would include route planning between Farney Close and Ash, Haywards Heath, reliable daily availability, contingency arrangements for vehicle or driver disruption, and experience of transporting children or passengers with additional needs. Operators should also be able to evidence safe, professional service delivery and manage a council-funded transport arrangement at comparable scale.
