UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialised school transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers travel from Oxted and Woldingham to Warlingham for two pupils, using a saloon car. The service falls within transport services (CPV 60000000) and is delivered on this local Surrey route. The council is the public-sector buyer and the procurement concerns a single transport requirement rather than a broad network or fleet contract. This is a focused passenger transport service for a small number of pupils, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide safe, reliable, appropriately managed journeys for children with SEND in the Surrey area.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. There was one completed lot. Jewel Cars Gatwick Limited, an SME based in Redhill, was awarded the contract on 28 July 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and has an active status. Its period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The awarded contract value is £7,144,000 gross, in GBP. The procurement used the light-touch regime and a limited procedure. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and contract terms, but does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis. This award therefore records the completed route and commercial outcome for the single SEND transport requirement.

This procurement demonstrates substantial, sustained demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport on a defined local route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate suitable saloon vehicles, provide dependable scheduled journeys for pupils, and understand the safeguarding, care and reliability expectations associated with transporting children with additional needs. Local knowledge of Oxted, Woldingham, Warlingham and surrounding roads would support consistent delivery. The award to a small or medium-sized enterprise also indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused transport operator rather than only by a large national fleet business. Relevant operators should be able to evidence dependable service management and capacity for a small-pupil route.
