UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for one pupil attending Burlington House School – Sixth Form in London. The requirement concerns transport for a pupil with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), with no personal assistant required. The specified vehicle is a saloon car. The journey is associated with Epsom and London, indicating delivery between these locations. The procurement is for transport services rather than vehicle supply, school operations or general passenger transport. It is a focused, individual-learner transport requirement managed by Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are operators able to provide reliable, suitable car transport for a school-age passenger on the specified route.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Sonic Carz was selected as the supplier. The award date and contract signing date were 30 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is valued at £2,245,371 gross, with the value stated in GBP. The procurement used a single completed lot for the requirement. It is classified as transport services and falls under the light-touch regime. The awarded contract is active. This is an outcome notice rather than an opportunity to submit a bid: the supplier has already been selected for the stated service period.

For competing transport operators, this award demonstrates Surrey County Council’s demand for dedicated SEND client transport linking Epsom and London. A credible future supplier would need to provide a saloon car service for an individual pupil, without relying on a personal assistant, and manage the specific school journey consistently. The requirement suits a small or medium-sized transport business with appropriate local operating capability, dependable vehicle availability and experience delivering passenger transport for education or other vulnerable-client settings. Providers should also be able to work within a council-managed limited-competition route and evidence that they can sustain a focused, scheduled service rather than offer only ad hoc private-hire journeys.
