UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport services for Landon School under its SEND client transport requirement. The service covers four passengers, all travelling from Woking, and requires a medium-sized multipurpose vehicle. The work is local to Woking and concerns the safe, reliable transport of children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities to and from school. This is a service opportunity for operators with suitable passenger vehicles and the ability to provide consistent, planned journeys for a small passenger group. The named public buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement sits within the transport services category, covering the provision and operation of transport rather than the supply of vehicles alone.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Brookwood Cars and Taxis, and the contract was signed on 6 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £6,740,357 gross, including any applicable taxes, in GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route under the light-touch regime. The award is active and the contract is active. The published requirement identified one transport service lot for the Landon School SEND journeys. The available outcome information records one selected supplier for the requirement; no separate award values or multiple supplier arrangements are identified.

This procurement shows a substantial, structured requirement for SEND school transport in Surrey, despite the small number of passengers on the described route. A credible future competitor would need to operate a medium MPV, provide dependable passenger transport for four people, and organise journeys for passengers travelling from Woking to Landon School. Relevant capability includes scheduled school transport, route planning, punctual daily operations, passenger safety and continuity of service. Experience supporting children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities would be directly relevant to the requirement. The successful supplier was a large transport operator, indicating that capacity to sustain a long-running council service, manage operational resilience and meet public-sector contract obligations is likely to matter when a comparable requirement returns to market.
