UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport for a child with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), under the Client Transport Services 2026–2034 programme. The requirement covered transport for one student between the student’s location in Sunbury-on-Thames and West Ewell Primary School in Epsom. It called for one saloon car with four passenger seats and no passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement, and is classified as transport services. The work is relevant to local taxi, private-hire and passenger transport operators able to provide a suitable saloon vehicle and deliver a reliable school journey between Sunbury-on-Thames and Epsom for an individual SEND passenger.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to WAYDONE CARS LTD, an SME. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 8 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £66,120 including tax, in GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award covers the single transport requirement for West Ewell Primary School and one student. The contract is active, while the associated tender is complete. The recorded procurement category is services, with transport services as the classified subject of the award.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for individual SEND school transport rather than a large multi-passenger route. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be local or regional passenger transport operators with access to a four-passenger-seat saloon car and the capacity to provide consistent journeys between Sunbury-on-Thames and Epsom. The requirement is suited to an SME-scale operator, as shown by the selected supplier’s classification. Credibility in this market would come from dependable vehicle availability, practical scheduling around school attendance, and the ability to support a student travelling alone without a passenger assistant. Operators monitoring Surrey County Council should use this requirement as a clear example of the council’s transport needs and its use of limited below-threshold competitions.
