UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured passenger transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) route serving Kennel Lane School. The requirement covers transport for one passenger travelling from Woking, using a saloon car. The work is therefore suited to operators providing individual or very small-scale school and education transport, rather than general bus or fleet services. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer. The service is associated with Woking and Kennel Lane School in Surrey, with the route beginning in Woking. The procurement falls within transport services and concerns the practical delivery of a dedicated passenger journey for a child or young person attending a specialist education setting.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Traveline Transport Services. The award date and contract signing date were both 5 August 2026. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The procurement had a single requirement, and the contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The awarded contract value is £6,688,000 gross, in pounds sterling. The recorded procurement category is transport services. The successful supplier is Traveline Transport Services, an SME based in Woking. The tender title identifies the wider service period as 2026–2034, while the awarded contract period runs from September 2026 to July 2029.

This award shows established demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport linking Woking with a specialist school. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide a saloon car and deliver a dependable, individual passenger journey rather than a conventional group-bus service. Local knowledge of Woking and the surrounding Surrey school-transport network would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to support education travel consistently over a multi-year service period. The award to Traveline Transport Services, identified as an SME, indicates that a smaller specialist operator can satisfy this type of council requirement. Businesses with suitable passenger-transport operations should monitor this buyer’s comparable needs.
