UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement provides a route to Freemantles Secondary School for three pupils and a personal assistant, using a medium-sized passenger vehicle with seven or eight seats. The work is client transport rather than general passenger or school bus provision, and is delivered for travel to the school in Surrey. The service includes accommodating a personal assistant who must be trained to administer emergency buccal midazolam, with a care plan provided when the contract is awarded. The procurement is managed and funded by Surrey County Council, serving the council’s SEND transport needs.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to uk car service through a below-threshold limited competition. The contract award was dated 7 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The awarded contract value is £103,851.43 including gross value, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The process used a limited procurement method under the light-touch regime, with one completed lot covering the transport requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies uk car service as the selected supplier for the full SEND transport service described.

This requirement demonstrates demand for reliable, specialist school transport for children and young people with SEND, delivered in a suitable seven- or eight-seat medium passenger vehicle. A credible future competitor would need operational capacity to transport three pupils and a personal assistant on a school route, with safeguarding-aware drivers and dependable journey planning. The service also requires the ability to provide or arrange a personal assistant trained to administer emergency buccal midazolam, and to work from an individual care plan. Relevant suppliers are therefore likely to include experienced accessible or specialist transport operators, community transport providers and smaller passenger transport businesses able to combine vehicle capacity, consistent school-route delivery, and appropriately trained support staff.
