UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), under the requirement titled Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND. The service covers transport for two pupils attending St Matthew’s CE Primary School in Redhill. One pupil is located in Epsom and one in Tadworth. The requirement calls for one saloon vehicle with passenger seating and does not include a passenger assistant. The work is therefore a small-scale, dedicated school transport service linking the two pupil locations with the school in Redhill. Businesses relevant to this requirement include passenger transport operators able to provide reliable school journeys for SEND pupils using a suitable saloon vehicle.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council awarded the single lot to Herts and London Minicabs Limited Limited on 3 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross and stated contract value is £7,296,000, in GBP. The award is active and the contract is active. This was a limited procurement under the light-touch regime. The published outcome identifies transport services as the category and records one awarded supplier for the requirement. The contract period covers the school transport service for the specified pupils and school.

This award demonstrates a defined demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport serving pupils in Epsom and Tadworth and a school in Redhill. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate suitable saloon vehicles, organise journeys across these locations and provide dependable transport for school-age SEND passengers. The requirement is suited to a passenger transport business that can manage a small number of individual routes rather than a large fleet operation. Relevant experience would include coordinating school journeys, accommodating pupil-specific travel arrangements and maintaining consistent service across the school term. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that a smaller transport operator can satisfy this buyer’s requirement.
