UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils under the requirement titled Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND. The service covers transport for three pupils associated with Blossom House, using one saloon car and no passenger assistant. The journey involves Shere and Guildford, New Malden, and a pupil travelling from postcode RH4 1PL. The requirement includes a pupil who currently travels only on Fridays, so the service model needs to reflect that schedule. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The council is the public-sector buyer, and the contracted service relates specifically to pupil transport rather than general fleet or vehicle services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected iconnectcar for the single service requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The award date and contract signing date were 27 July 2026. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £3,615,429, including taxes, in total for this contract. The requirement was treated as a light-touch service procurement and was evaluated through a limited competition. The award covers the complete single-lot requirement, including transport for the three SEND pupils, the saloon car provision and the stated journey arrangements.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for dedicated SEND pupil transport linking education and residential locations across Shere, Guildford and New Malden. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to provide a suitable saloon car, organise reliable journeys for three pupils, and accommodate an individual journey operating only on Fridays from the RH4 1PL area. The work suits a transport operator able to manage pupil-specific routing and schedules rather than only standard taxi or general passenger work. Experience delivering education or special-needs transport would help demonstrate relevance, while the completed award provides a clear example of the operational scale, service pattern and limited-competition route used by this buyer.
