UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel associated with West Hill Primary School. The requirement covers transport for two students, with no personal assistant, using one saloon car with four passenger seats. The school is in Leatherhead and the students are in Dorking, so the service involves transporting pupils between those locations. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority responsible for arranging the service. The requirement is specific to one school journey and a small number of passengers rather than a broad transport operation, making it most relevant to operators able to provide reliable, appropriately managed car transport for children with SEND.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Magnum Cars and Carriages Ltd, an SME based in Leatherhead. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. There was one completed lot covering the transport service. The award was made on 6 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £90,355 gross. The tender and contract carry the same Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND title, although the awarded contract period is shorter. The published outcome identifies Magnum Cars and Carriages Ltd as the selected supplier for the full requirement.

This outcome indicates a need for small, local passenger transport operators that can provide consistent school travel for SEND pupils. A credible competitor would need suitable saloon vehicles, capacity for at least four passengers, and the operational reliability to complete regular journeys between a school in Leatherhead and student homes in Dorking. Experience transporting children or vulnerable passengers would strengthen a supplier’s position, alongside robust safeguarding, driver suitability, journey planning and communication arrangements. The award to an SME suggests the requirement can be delivered by a focused local business rather than only a large fleet operator. Firms monitoring Surrey County Council should treat this as evidence of demand for individually specified education transport services.
