UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision under the requirement titled Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND: Linden Bridge. The service covers transport for one pupil accompanied by one personal assistant, using one saloon car. The journey requirement involves Walton-on-Thames and Worcester Park. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply or general fleet provision. Suppliers relevant to this requirement would be operators able to provide a saloon car and coordinate transport for a pupil and accompanying personal assistant between the specified locations. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority responsible for arranging the service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used the light-touch regime and comprised one lot. Cascade Cars was awarded the contract on 31 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £4,019,786, inclusive of applicable taxes as reported. The award covers transport services for the SEND requirement described above. The published outcome identifies Cascade Cars as the selected supplier. The process therefore records a completed procurement and an active contract, rather than an opportunity for suppliers to submit new bids.

This award demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport, including provision for a pupil travelling with a personal assistant in a saloon car. Suppliers best placed to compete for a future requirement of this type would be established passenger transport operators with access to suitable saloon vehicles, the capacity to provide consistent pupil journeys, and the ability to coordinate an accompanying personal assistant. Local operating capability around Walton-on-Thames and Worcester Park would be commercially relevant, as would experience delivering individual or small-scale education transport services. The award also shows that Surrey County Council uses a below-threshold limited competition route for this type of requirement, so businesses should be prepared to respond through that procurement route when similar services return to market.
