UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialised client transport services for four pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) attending West Hill Primary School. The service covers journeys between the school in Leatherhead and student locations in Walton-on-Thames and Esher. The requirement includes one personal assistant to support harmony and one medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle with seven passenger seats. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract, and is suited to operators able to provide safe, reliable, coordinated journeys for children and young people with additional needs. The council is based in Reigate and the operational requirement is centred on the named Surrey locations.

The procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The single completed lot was awarded to County Cabs Limited on 6 August 2026. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and is active, with a period from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross and stated value is £15,793,143, in GBP. The award covers the complete SEND transport requirement for West Hill Primary School, including the four-student service, personal assistant provision and seven-seat MPV. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council. The published process identifies transport services as the relevant category and records one awarded supplier for the requirement.

This award demonstrates substantial, sustained demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport linked to a named school and several student locations. A credible future competitor would need to operate suitable seven-seat MPVs, organise consistent routes between Leatherhead, Walton-on-Thames and Esher, and provide a personal assistant where required. Experience transporting children or passengers with additional needs would be commercially relevant, alongside dependable scheduling, safeguarding-aware operations and the capacity to serve four students within one coordinated arrangement. The winning supplier is an SME, showing that this type of council requirement can be delivered by a focused smaller transport operator rather than only a national contractor. The requirement also indicates the value of combining vehicles, staffing and route management in one service.
