UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) journey. The requirement covers transport for one student travelling to and from Eastwick Junior School in Leatherhead, with both the school and the student located in Leatherhead. The service uses one saloon car with four passenger seats and does not require a passenger assistant. This is a local, individual-transport requirement rather than a broad school transport operation. The relevant work category is passenger transport services (CPV 60000000). Surrey County Council is the public authority buying and managing the service, with delivery centred on the Leatherhead area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. GALAXY CARS was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 4 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £2,246,071 gross, in GBP. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The process used a light-touch regime and covered a single SEND transport requirement. The published information identifies limited competition as the procurement method; the selection outcome therefore reflects a restricted competitive route rather than an open tender. The contract is active and the tender status is complete.

This opportunity demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport delivered locally in Leatherhead. A credible future supplier would need to provide reliable individual journeys for a school-aged passenger, operate an appropriate saloon car with at least four passenger seats, and manage transport where a passenger assistant is not required. The requirement suits a small local operator as well as a larger transport business able to provide consistent driver and vehicle availability for the full service period. Experience of school or SEND transport, robust safeguarding and passenger-care procedures, dependable scheduling, and the capacity to maintain a suitable vehicle would strengthen a competitor’s position when this type of requirement returns.
