UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured SEND client transport services for Heathermount School in Ascot. The requirement covers transport for two students from Walton-on-Thames and one student each from Weybridge, Addlestone and Chertsey. The service uses a medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle and does not require a passenger assistant. It is a scheduled school transport route serving children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The route is associated with Heathermount School and the listed Surrey locations, so relevant suppliers need to operate in or be able to cover these areas. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The service falls within transport services, excluding waste transport, and is delivered as a single requirement rather than a set of separately described service packages.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. County Cabs Limited was selected, and the contract was signed on 20 July 2026. The contract value is £7,672,500 gross, including the stated contract value, in GBP. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The transport route is due to start on 7 September 2026. The award covers the complete requirement for the Heathermount School route. The tender was marked complete and the award is active. Surrey County Council used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition. The available outcome information identifies the successful supplier and contract terms, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or named evaluation weighting.

This award demonstrates a substantial requirement for specialist home-to-school transport for SEND passengers in Surrey, using a medium MPV on a defined multi-location route. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need suitable vehicles, dependable daily dispatch and the capacity to collect passengers from Walton-on-Thames, Weybridge, Addlestone and Chertsey for travel to Heathermount School in Ascot. Experience transporting children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities would be directly relevant. The route does not require a passenger assistant, but the operator would still need robust safeguarding, passenger welfare, scheduling and contingency arrangements appropriate to school transport. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller transport business with sufficient local coverage and operational capacity.
