UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers the Wishmore route to GU24 8NS, transporting four pupils from Ashford, Stanwell and Staines-upon-Thames. The service uses a medium seven-seat multi-purpose vehicle and operates on weekdays, with different attendance patterns for each passenger. One pupil may require a booster seat, while another is tall and cannot sit in the rear of the vehicle. The route includes transport to and from school, with journeys measured separately by day. The service is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport, and is delivered for the council’s education transport programme in Surrey.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Eagle Cab Ltd was selected for the single requirement. The award was made on 3 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract value is £7,904,571 including gross value, in GBP. The contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The requirement was treated as a light-touch procurement and was not divided into multiple lots. Pricing was required by daily mileage: 33.09 miles on Monday, 33.91 miles on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and 34.44 miles on Wednesday. The route was scheduled to start on 4 September 2026.

The award demonstrates substantial, sustained demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport, particularly scheduled home-to-school routes using medium seven-seat vehicles. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be able to provide reliable weekday operations, manage different passenger attendance patterns, and maintain consistent journeys between Surrey communities and specialist education settings. Relevant operational capability includes route planning, daily mileage-based pricing, passenger care, and the ability to accommodate individual needs such as booster seats and seating restrictions. A credible competitor would also need the capacity to run a long-term service for several pupils on one route, coordinate morning and afternoon journeys, and provide dependable local coverage across Ashford, Stanwell and Staines-upon-Thames.
