Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport under the title Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND. The requirement concerns Blossom House and covers one pupil, with no personal assistant required. The specified vehicle is a saloon car. The transport links Godalming and New Malden, so the work is relevant to operators able to provide scheduled individual or small-scale passenger transport between these locations. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction. The relevant service classification is transport services, excluding waste transport. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer, based at County Hall in Kingston upon Thames, and the service requirement is associated with its client transport provision.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Green line cars. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 24 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded contract value is £3,413,250, including gross value, and relates to the single requirement for the Blossom House transport service. The tender and lot are recorded as complete, while the award and contract are active. Green line cars, a small enterprise, is the named supplier. The published procurement data does not state separate quality or price weightings for evaluation.

This award demonstrates a substantial requirement from Surrey County Council for SEND client transport delivered by a small operator using a saloon car for one pupil and no personal assistant. Businesses well placed for a comparable requirement would have dependable passenger transport operations, a suitable saloon vehicle, and the ability to provide consistent service between Godalming and New Malden. Experience supporting children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities would make a supplier more credible, particularly where it can show safe, reliable and appropriately managed journeys. Local knowledge of both locations, robust scheduling and continuity arrangements would also be relevant. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold limited competition indicates that suppliers should be able to engage with this route and meet its defined service requirements efficiently.
