UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council bought client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities passenger travelling between Aldershot and West Hill Primary School in Leatherhead. The requirement covers one student, with no personal assistant, using one saloon car with four passenger seats. The work is passenger transport rather than vehicle supply or general school transport: the operator is responsible for providing the specified journey service between the student’s location and school. The procurement is associated with Surrey County Council’s local public services and serves a specific education transport need across Surrey and the surrounding area. The relevant service classification is transport services, excluding waste transport.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and awarded to iconnectcar. The contract is active from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2028, with a gross value of £6,680,857. It covers the single specified transport requirement for the West Hill Primary School journey. The recorded award is active and the related contract is active. The available procurement information identifies the limited competition route and the passenger transport requirement; it does not set out a separate scoring or evaluation weighting. The selected supplier is based in Woking.

This outcome shows that Surrey County Council purchases tightly defined SEND transport services tailored to an individual passenger and school placement. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need to provide a saloon car with sufficient capacity for the stated journey, transport one student without a personal assistant, and operate reliably between Aldershot and Leatherhead. The requirement suits an operator able to manage a direct home-to-school style service rather than a high-capacity bus or general fleet contract. A competitor would also need to understand the practical demands of transporting a student to a named primary school and maintain dependable coverage across the relevant local area. The award provides a clear example of the council’s transport specification and limited-competition purchasing route.
