UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) passengers. The requirement was transport for three passengers travelling to Burpham Primary School, using a small multi-purpose vehicle. The journey is from Godalming to Guildford, with delivery of the transport service associated with the school travel requirement. The procurement falls within transport services, covering the operation of passenger transport rather than vehicle supply or construction. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation and the contracting authority responsible for arranging this service. The requirement is specific to a small passenger group and a defined school journey, making it relevant to operators providing local or regional supported, assisted or education-related transport using suitable small vehicles.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made to MPCars on 7 August 2026. One active award and contract cover the single requirement, with a gross value of £53,922.86. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender used the light-touch regime and was assessed through a limited competition. The successful supplier is MPCars, and the awarded service relates to transport for three SEND passengers travelling by small MPV from Godalming to Guildford for Burpham Primary School. The contract is below the applicable threshold and the procurement status is complete.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for a focused SEND passenger transport service rather than a large fleet operation. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be passenger transport operators able to provide a suitable small MPV and reliably cover the Godalming-to-Guildford school journey for a small number of passengers. The requirement is relevant to businesses serving education, assisted travel or other council-arranged passenger journeys, particularly those with local operating knowledge and the capacity to provide consistent school transport. Competitors should be able to demonstrate that their vehicles and operating arrangements are appropriate for SEND passengers, and that they can deliver a dedicated route between the stated origin, destination and school. The limited-competition route also indicates a procurement suited to established operators able to respond through a focused council process.
