UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), under the requirement titled Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND. The service supports two students travelling between Epsom and Banstead and Blossom House Upper in London. Both students travel from Epsom in the morning and afternoon, while the student in Banstead travels in the afternoon only. The requirement includes one passenger assistant for epilepsy support, with no emergency medication required, and a saloon vehicle with four passenger seats. The work is therefore a small, dedicated school transport operation involving scheduled journeys, passenger assistance and safe transport between Surrey locations and the school in London.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Cascade Cars through a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 31 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £11,776,200 including tax. The procurement uses the light-touch regime and covers one requirement for transport services. The selected supplier is Cascade Cars. Surrey County Council is the buyer. The published outcome records the award as active and the contract as active, while the tender is complete. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available procurement information does not set out individual quality, price or other scoring criteria.

This requirement is relevant to operators with experience delivering regular school or passenger transport for SEND pupils, particularly where journeys involve more than one collection area and a school in London. A credible future competitor would need dependable saloon vehicles with sufficient seating, robust scheduling and route-planning capability for morning and afternoon journeys, and reliable arrangements for passenger assistants. Staff should be able to support a pupil with epilepsy safely and understand the operational boundaries where emergency medication is not required. The buyer’s choice of a transport services provider indicates that practical delivery reliability, suitable vehicles, safeguarding-aware passenger care and the capacity to maintain repeated journeys over a school-year service period would be central to competing for this type of requirement.
