UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) school journeys involving Hinchley Wood School in Esher. The requirement covers two students, with one student travelling from Walton-on-Thames and one from Cobham to the school. The service uses one saloon car with four passenger seats and does not require a passenger assistant. The work is a passenger transport service for a named school route, with journeys associated with the school at Esher, Surrey. It is relevant to operators providing individual or small-group home-to-school transport, particularly businesses able to cover Walton-on-Thames, Cobham and Esher with an appropriate saloon vehicle.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It covered one requirement, awarded to JJ Cars. The award was active and the contract was signed on 31 July 2026. The contract value is £7,030,000 including gross value, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Evaluation details recorded for the award do not set out a separate scoring basis. The selected supplier is JJ Cars, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in West Molesey. The contract concerns the SEND client transport service for Hinchley Wood School described above.

This award shows Surrey County Council has a substantial, multi-year requirement for dedicated SEND school transport rather than general passenger travel. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide a suitable saloon vehicle with four passenger seats, transport two students on journeys from Walton-on-Thames and Cobham to Esher, and organise reliable service for a named school route. The successful supplier was recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement was delivered by a smaller transport business rather than only a large national operator. Relevant businesses are therefore local or regional passenger transport providers with the vehicle capacity, route coverage and operational ability to support school journeys for students with SEND.
