UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialised client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) journey between Horley and Reigate. The requirement covers transport for one pupil using a saloon vehicle, under the council’s wider client transport service. The work is passenger transport rather than vehicle supply or general fleet services. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation, and the service is delivered along the Horley-to-Reigate route in Surrey. The procurement is intended to provide an individual transport arrangement for the named journey, so it is most relevant to local private-hire, taxi or specialist passenger transport operators able to provide a suitable saloon car and reliable point-to-point service for a single SEND passenger.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Asiana Cars Ltd was selected, and the contract was signed on 29 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029 and is valued at £5,928,000 including gross value, in total for this requirement. It covers one completed lot for the Horley-to-Reigate SEND transport service. The procurement used a light-touch regime and a limited procedure. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and the contract value, period and award date; the record does not set out an award-scoring breakdown or separate evaluation weightings. The relevant service classification is passenger transport services.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for contracted SEND passenger transport on an individual route, using a saloon vehicle for one pupil. Competitors seeking similar council work would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles and provide dependable, consistent transport for a specific passenger journey between Horley and Reigate. The requirement is well suited to a small local taxi, private-hire or passenger transport business with the practical capacity to deliver a dedicated service rather than a large group operation. Knowledge of the local road network, disciplined scheduling and the ability to maintain service continuity would support credibility when this type of requirement returns to market. The buyer’s use of a limited below-threshold competition also indicates a route involving targeted supplier engagement.
