UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council is buying client transport services for two passengers with special educational needs (SEND). The requirement is for a saloon vehicle transporting the passengers into Northmead CM LU, travelling from Farnham to Guildford. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle purchase or construction project. The council is the public-sector buyer and the service relates to its responsibility for arranging suitable transport for the named journey. The work is centred on the Farnham–Guildford route and the Northmead destination. Businesses relevant to this requirement include operators able to provide reliable saloon-car transport for a very small number of SEND passengers, with the operational capacity to deliver the specified journey safely and consistently.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The selected supplier is iconnectcar. The award was made on 10 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £21,342.86 including tax. The procurement covered one requirement for the specified passenger transport service, and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies transport services as the main category. The available outcome information records the winning supplier and contract value, but does not set out a separate price-versus-quality scoring breakdown or other evaluation weighting.

This award shows that Surrey County Council purchases small-scale, route-specific SEND transport rather than only large, network-wide transport contracts. Suppliers best placed to compete when this requirement returns will be able to provide a suitable saloon vehicle, maintain dependable cover for two passengers, and operate consistently between Farnham, Northmead CM LU and Guildford. Relevant operational strengths include journey planning, punctual collection and arrival, clear communication with the council and families, and the ability to manage the practical needs of SEND passengers. A credible competitor would also need sufficient capacity to deliver the service throughout the contract period, while meeting the council’s requirements for safe, reliable client transport on a defined daily route.
