UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision. The requirement covers transport for one pupil between Leatherhead and Wallington, using a saloon vehicle. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or infrastructure project. The procurement is managed by Surrey County Council, with delivery taking place along the Leatherhead-to-Wallington route. The relevant service category is transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). The requirement sits within the council’s wider client transport provision for SEND learners, but this particular service concerns one pupil and one specified journey route.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected Asiana cars ltd, an SME, as the supplier. The award was made on 3 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £8,208,000 including and excluding tax as reported. The process used a limited procurement method under the light-touch regime. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition, with the published information identifying the transport service, route, pupil requirement and saloon vehicle specification as the basis for the award.

This award indicates a substantial, multi-year requirement for dedicated SEND passenger transport on a defined Surrey route. A credible future competitor would need to operate a suitable saloon vehicle and reliably provide transport for an individual pupil between Leatherhead and Wallington. The winning supplier was an SME, showing that this type of council transport requirement can be delivered by a smaller operator rather than only a large fleet business. Relevant strengths would include dependable day-to-day vehicle availability, the ability to cover the specified route consistently, and experience delivering passenger transport services for education or other council clients. Operators monitoring Surrey County Council’s client transport requirements can use this award as evidence of the scale and type of service the council purchases.
