Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel. The requirement covers transport for one pupil, accompanied by one personal assistant, using one saloon car. The journey connects Guildford and Worcester Park, so the service involves passenger transport between these Surrey locations. The procurement is a council-funded service requirement managed by Surrey County Council, a local public authority. The transport operator is expected to provide the vehicle and the passenger-assistance element needed for the identified pupil journey. The relevant business category is passenger transport services, covering operators that provide tailored, individual or small-scale journeys rather than general freight or waste transport.

The procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The tender and its single lot are complete, with County Cabs Limited selected as the supplier. The award was made on 31 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is valued at £4,709,571 gross, in GBP, and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. It is an active contract for services under the light-touch regime. Evaluation was conducted through the limited competition procedure. The award covers the complete transport requirement for the single lot: one pupil, one personal assistant and one saloon car serving the Guildford and Worcester Park journey.

This award demonstrates a substantial requirement for dedicated SEND passenger transport from Surrey County Council, delivered through a focused, single-pupil journey with a personal assistant and saloon car. Competitors would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles, provide dependable scheduled transport between Guildford and Worcester Park, and support the accompanying passenger-assistance arrangement. The requirement is relevant to taxi and private-hire operators, specialist school-transport providers and small transport businesses able to combine vehicle availability with reliable day-to-day service. Credibility for a future requirement of this kind would come from demonstrating operational capacity for sustained delivery, safe and consistent passenger handling, and the ability to manage an individual SEND transport arrangement under a council-led limited competition.
