UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for Hopescourt School in Walton-on-Thames, supporting six students travelling from Addlestone and Weybridge. The requirement is a passenger transport service for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), classified as transport services (CPV 60000000). The service covers journeys between the students’ locations and the school, which is on Waterside Drive, Walton-on-Thames. The specification requires one large multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) with eight passenger seats and does not require a personal assistant. This is a single, defined school transport requirement rather than a general taxi or council-wide transport arrangement. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation and the contracted service is being delivered by County Cabs Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Woking.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to County Cabs Limited on 10 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £104,781.43 including gross value in GBP. The award covers one lot for the SEND client transport service. The selected supplier is County Cabs Limited. The procurement used a light-touch regime and a limited procedure, with competition restricted below the applicable threshold. The published outcome records the award as active and the contract as active. The available procurement information identifies the service scope, vehicle requirement and route locations, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or additional award criteria.

This award shows a specific demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport between Addlestone, Weybridge and Hopescourt School in Walton-on-Thames. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be passenger transport operators able to provide a large eight-seat MPV, organise dependable school journeys for six students and cover the stated Surrey locations. The requirement is suitable for a smaller local operator as well as a larger transport business with the necessary vehicle capacity and operational resilience. County Cabs Limited’s selection demonstrates that an SME can satisfy this type of council requirement through a below-threshold limited competition. Competitors assessing future work from this buyer should be able to evidence reliable scheduled transport delivery, suitable vehicles and practical coverage of the relevant school and student locations.
