UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for four students with special educational needs and disabilities travelling to Hopescourt School, Walton-on-Thames, from Woking. The requirement is for one small multi-purpose vehicle with five passenger seats and does not include a passenger assistant. The service category is passenger transport, covering the daily movement of the students between their home area and school. The school is on Waterside Drive, Walton-on-Thames. This is a council-funded service focused on transporting a small group of pupils to one named school, rather than a general public transport operation or a broad fleet requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council awarded the single lot to TSM PREMIER CARS. The award was active and dated 4 August 2026; the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029 and is valued at £8,352,143 including tax, with the published value also stated as £8,352,143. The procurement used the light-touch regime and was evaluated through the limited competition route. The service covers one requirement for transport to Hopescourt School, with no separate lots or multiple suppliers identified.

This award demonstrates a substantial, recurring requirement from Surrey County Council for SEND pupil transport between Woking and Walton-on-Thames. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be able to provide a small MPV with five passenger seats and organise reliable journeys for a defined group of four students travelling to one school. The requirement is suited to operators experienced in school or client transport, with the vehicle availability and operational capacity to maintain a dedicated route over a school-period service. The limited-competition route also shows that the council uses a focused process for below-threshold requirements, so local operators with a relevant vehicle and proven ability to deliver this type of passenger transport may be credible competitors when similar requirements return.
