UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers transport for three pupils from Blossom House, using one saloon car, with no personal assistant required. The journey connects Caterham and New Malden, indicating a scheduled pupil transport service between these locations. The procurement falls within transport services, covering the provision and operation of the vehicle and associated passenger transport arrangements. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement is focused on a small, defined passenger group rather than a broad transport network or general taxi service, and is relevant to operators able to deliver reliable, child-focused transport for SEND passengers on the specified route.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It comprised one lot, covering the full SEND transport requirement. The contract was awarded to Street Cars Redhill Ltd on 29 July 2026 for £3,092,143 gross, inclusive of any applicable taxes. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The published outcome identifies Street Cars Redhill Ltd as the supplier. The award concerns transport services and the contract is active. The available procurement information establishes the limited-competition route and the specified service requirement; it does not set out separate price, quality or technical scoring criteria.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for dedicated SEND pupil transport delivered through a limited-competition route. A credible future competitor would need to operate a suitable saloon car and provide dependable scheduled journeys between Caterham and New Malden for a small group of pupils from Blossom House. Relevant capability includes experience transporting children or passengers with special educational needs, robust safeguarding and passenger-care arrangements, dependable attendance and routing, and the operational capacity to maintain service continuity across the school year. Local knowledge of Surrey and surrounding travel routes would support reliable delivery. Smaller transport firms may be well placed where they can demonstrate suitable vehicles, trained drivers, resilience and the ability to manage a defined passenger service without a personal assistant.
