UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement covers a route between Cranleigh and the Elysian Farm–Shamley Green site, carrying two students in a small MPV. A passenger assistant is required because one student has asthma and epilepsy. The passenger assistant must complete online seizure-awareness and asthma-awareness training before the route begins; NHS training is not required because the student does not use emergency medication. This is a passenger transport service commissioned by Surrey County Council, with delivery centred on the named route and the students’ transport needs.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Green line cars was selected on 29 July 2026. The contract is valued at £9,504,000 gross and runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The service is scheduled to start on Monday 7 September 2026. It covers the single transport requirement for two students, using a small MPV and a passenger assistant. The award is classified as transport services. The published outcome identifies Green line cars as the active award supplier and Surrey County Council as the buyer.

This requirement demonstrates sustained council demand for specialist transport supporting SEND students, delivered on a defined route with a small vehicle rather than a general bus service. A credible competing supplier would need to provide a suitable small MPV, organise reliable transport for two students, and supply a passenger assistant able to complete the specified online seizure-awareness and asthma-awareness training before service delivery. The work is particularly relevant to small and medium-sized passenger transport operators that can combine vehicle availability with appropriately prepared passenger-assistant staff. Experience in structured school or client transport, dependable route operation and the ability to meet individual health-related support arrangements would strengthen a future competing offer for this buyer.
