UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured weekday transport for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities on the Wishmore route, serving GU24 8NS. The service carries pupils between Knaphill and Woking, Chertsey and the destination, with one pupil travelling from each of these areas. The requirement is for a medium seven-seat MPV. Three pupils use the route: two travel Monday to Friday, while one travels on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The service is a passenger transport operation rather than a vehicle supply contract, and delivery is centred on the Wishmore area, with journeys beginning in Knaphill, Woking and Chertsey.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to iconnectcar by Surrey County Council on 4 August 2026. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded, with an active contract worth £6,123,643 including gross value. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2028, and the contract was signed on 4 August 2026. The route was planned to begin with one pupil on 3 September 2026 and all pupils from 4 September 2026. Evaluation details are not stated, but the requirement set daily mileage costs of 29.49 miles on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and 25.46 miles on Tuesdays.

This award demonstrates substantial, continuing demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND pupil transport delivered on a scheduled weekday route. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would be able to provide a medium seven-seat MPV, organise reliable school transport for multiple pupils from different parts of Surrey, and manage different attendance patterns across the week. Relevant operational capability includes planning and servicing journeys between Knaphill, Woking, Chertsey and Wishmore, pricing by daily mileage, and maintaining consistent provision across routes with both five-day and four-day users. The limited-competition route also indicates that suppliers should be prepared to respond efficiently to targeted council procurements.
