UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured weekday passenger transport for its special educational needs and disabilities service. The requirement is a saloon car journey for one pupil travelling from Hazelmere to Lift Wishmore, GU24 8NS. The route is identified as “Lift Wishmore” and may require a child car seat or booster. The service falls within transport services, excluding waste transport. Work is associated with Surrey County Council and the journey covers the stated Hazelmere and Wishmore locations. This is a direct, individual-pupil transport requirement rather than a general fleet, bus or group passenger service, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide a suitable saloon vehicle and a regular weekday journey.

The procurement is complete and the single lot has been awarded. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was awarded to iconnectcar on 3 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The active contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross value is £9,473,214. The award covers the transport service for the one pupil and the stated route. The procurement used one completed lot, with the award recorded as active and the contract also recorded as active. No separate award or contract values are recorded for other suppliers or lots.

This outcome shows demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport delivered through a limited competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate a suitable saloon reliably from Monday to Friday, provide transport for an individual pupil, and cover the Hazelmere-to-Wishmore journey. The ability to accommodate a car seat or booster is also relevant. The requirement suits a transport operator with practical capacity for recurring school-related journeys, local route knowledge around Surrey and dependable day-to-day vehicle availability. Suppliers already providing individual passenger or school transport services may find this buyer and requirement useful when assessing their public-sector transport pipeline.
