UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement covers transporting two pupils by saloon vehicle to Meadhurst Primary School, with two high-back booster seats provided as equipment. The work is a passenger transport service delivered in connection with the school journey. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation, and the successful supplier, Eagle Cab Ltd, is based in Staines-upon-Thames. The requirement formed part of a clean-slate review of transport arrangements for this service. This is a focused school transport requirement rather than a general transport framework, and is relevant to operators able to provide suitable saloon journeys and the specified child passenger equipment.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Eagle Cab Ltd; the contract was signed on 7 August 2026. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract covers one lot and has a value of £44,436.43 including tax. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The award relates to transport services and the tender was evaluated through the limited competition process. The resulting contract is active. Surrey County Council selected a small or medium-sized enterprise for this requirement, which indicates that the procurement route was accessible to an appropriately sized specialist transport provider.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist school transport for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, involving a small number of passengers, saloon-vehicle journeys and high-back booster seats. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable, child-appropriate passenger transport to Meadhurst Primary School and be able to accommodate the stated equipment requirement. The completed contract also shows that Surrey County Council has used a below-threshold limited competition for a focused, single-lot service rather than a large, multi-route arrangement. Small and medium-sized operators are relevant comparators: Eagle Cab Ltd, the selected supplier, is recorded as an SME. Businesses with suitable local operating capability and experience in this type of school journey would be well placed to monitor comparable requirements from this buyer.
