UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) client transport services for two pupils travelling into Meadhurst Primary School. The requirement was for transport in a saloon car, with specified passenger safety equipment: a booster cushion, a high-back booster and one five-point car seat. The service falls within transport services. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer, and the work serves pupils travelling to Meadhurst Primary School. The requirement was described as a clean-slate review, indicating a reassessment of the transport arrangement rather than a broad transport framework. The awarded service is focused on a small, pupil-specific journey requiring suitable vehicle provision and the safe use of the stated child restraint equipment.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to YNR cars, an SME based in Epsom. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 7 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its gross and stated value is £53,922.86. One lot was awarded, covering the SEND transport requirement. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies YNR cars as the selected supplier. The process was limited rather than open, so it provides a useful indication of the buyer’s route for a focused, below-threshold SEND transport requirement.

This opportunity shows demand from Surrey County Council for specialist, small-scale school transport serving SEND pupils. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need to provide a suitable saloon vehicle, transport children safely, and supply or correctly use the specified booster and five-point restraint equipment. The requirement suits an operator able to manage an individual or very small passenger group reliably, with careful attention to safeguarding, punctual school journeys and child-specific transport arrangements. YNR cars’ selection also shows that an SME can satisfy this type of council requirement. Competitors should be able to demonstrate dependable local operations, appropriate vehicle and equipment capacity, and practical experience of transporting children with additional needs.
