UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport services for Bramley Oak Academy, GU5 0BJ. The requirement is for one child with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), travelling from Farnham to the academy. The service is a saloon-car journey provided from Monday to Friday. This is a local passenger transport requirement, with the delivery route linking Farnham and Bramley Oak Academy. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The procurement covers transport services rather than vehicle supply, school operations or general passenger transport. It is therefore most relevant to licensed private-hire, taxi or passenger transport operators able to provide a saloon car and deliver a consistent individual school journey.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, Green line cars, was selected for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £2,735,357 gross, including the stated total contract value. The service route is due to start on Friday 4 September 2026. The contract is active, while the associated tender and lot are complete. The procurement uses the light-touch regime and covers transport services. The published data identifies the successful supplier but does not set out award scoring or weighted evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport between named Surrey locations, delivered on a weekday schedule. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide a suitable saloon vehicle, reliable Monday-to-Friday operations and the capacity to carry one child on a consistent home-to-school route. Local knowledge of Farnham, Bramley and surrounding roads would support dependable journey planning and service continuity. Operators should also be prepared to meet the council’s operational requirements for transporting a child with SEND, including suitable arrangements for safe, punctual and consistent individual travel. The award to Green line cars shows that an SME-sized private transport business can satisfy this type of council requirement.
