UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for Heathermount School, supporting special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport. The requirement covers one student travelling from Little Bookham and one from Guildford, using a saloon vehicle. The service is for transporting these pupils on the specified school route, with no passenger assistant required. Work is associated with Surrey County Council and the journeys cover the stated origins and school destination. The procurement falls within transport services, covering the provision and operation of a suitable vehicle and driver for the client journey. It is a single service requirement rather than a wider multi-service transport arrangement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected GALAXY CARS for the transport service. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026, with a service period from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £6,286,500 gross. The procurement used the light-touch regime and comprised one lot, covering the complete SEND transport requirement. The award relates to transport services for the stated Heathermount School route. The available record identifies the limited competition route but does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings.

This requirement shows demand from Surrey County Council for specialist school transport serving SEND pupils, with journeys linking local communities to a school destination. A credible competitor would need to provide a suitable saloon vehicle, reliable drivers and the operational capacity to deliver planned pupil journeys from Little Bookham and Guildford. The requirement also demonstrates that a small or medium-sized transport operator can be selected for this type of council service: GALAXY CARS is identified as an SME. Suppliers with experience in dependable education or passenger transport, route planning, safeguarding-conscious operations and consistent service delivery would be well placed when assessing similar requirements from this buyer.
