UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport services for More House School under its SEND transport requirements. The service uses a small MPV to carry four pupils and one passenger assistant. A passenger assistant is required as part of the service, with responsibility for administering an EpiPen for allergies and maintaining awareness of gastrostomy tube requirements. This is a passenger transport service rather than the supply of vehicles. The requirement is specific to transporting pupils with special educational needs and disabilities and involves working with the school and the council to support safe, supervised journeys. The procurement was for delivery associated with More House School; the available information identifies the school but does not give a separate delivery address.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It was treated as a light-touch services procurement. Green line cars was awarded the contract on 6 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £5,292.14 including gross value, in a single award covering the transport requirement. The contract is active. The evaluation outcome selected Green line cars for the service, but the procurement information does not set out a separate price-quality weighting or other detailed award criteria. This is an awarded contract, not an opportunity to submit a bid.

This requirement is most relevant to small and specialist passenger transport operators able to provide a reliable small MPV and a suitably capable passenger assistant. Credible competitors would need experience transporting children with special educational needs and disabilities, safe pupil supervision, and the operational capacity to carry four pupils alongside one passenger assistant. The passenger assistant role is clinically sensitive: staff must be able to administer an EpiPen for allergies and understand gastrostomy tube-related requirements. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate appropriate safeguarding, passenger-assistance procedures, driver and vehicle reliability, and staff competence for supported school transport. The award shows that Surrey County Council buys focused, small-scale SEND transport services through a limited below-threshold competition, with capability to meet the school-specific care and vehicle requirement central to success.
