UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for two pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is a route into Meadhurst Primary School using a saloon car, with two booster cushions. The service falls within passenger transport services and is delivered in connection with the school journey to Meadhurst Primary School. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation. The arrangement is a single transport requirement rather than a broad transport network, and is focused on safely conveying two pupils in an appropriately equipped saloon vehicle. This may suit operators providing tailored school transport, including smaller local transport businesses able to manage individual routes and passenger needs.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Traveline Transport Services was selected for the requirement, and the contract was signed on 4 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £5,192,571, excluding any distinction between lots because the process has one awarded requirement. The stated procurement category is services, with transport services as the classification. The tender was conducted under the light-touch regime. The award is active and the contract is active, indicating that the selected supplier is contracted to deliver the service. Evaluation details published for the competition do not set out separate quality or price weightings.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport on a defined school route, using a saloon vehicle and booster cushions for two pupils. A credible competitor for comparable work would need suitable passenger transport capacity, an appropriately equipped saloon car and the operational ability to provide consistent school journeys for children with additional needs. The requirement also indicates the relevance of small and medium-sized operators: the appointed supplier is identified as an SME. Experience in reliable home-to-school transport, safeguarding-aware passenger handling and practical coordination with schools and families would help a provider demonstrate suitability when this buyer next considers similar transport requirements.
