UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Guildford Grove Primary School, supporting two students: one travelling from Ashford and one from Laleham. The requirement is for a saloon vehicle and a passenger assistant to support hearing-impaired students during transport. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000, and the work is associated with school journeys in Surrey. The service involves safely transporting children to and from the school, with appropriate assistance throughout the journey. It is therefore relevant to operators of school transport, accessible or assisted passenger transport, and providers able to supply both a suitable vehicle and trained passenger-support staff.

The procurement has been awarded and the process is complete. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was awarded to iconnectcar on 10 August 2026 and signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2028, with a gross value of £101,065. One requirement was awarded as a single lot. The arrangement covers the Guildford Grove Primary School route serving one student from Ashford and one from Laleham, using a saloon vehicle with a passenger assistant. The award is recorded as active and the contract is also active, indicating that the selected supplier is responsible for delivery under the agreed arrangement.

This award shows a defined requirement for school transport involving a small number of students, a saloon vehicle and dedicated passenger assistance. Competitors seeking similar work for Surrey County Council would need reliable passenger transport operations, suitable vehicles and staff capable of supporting children with additional communication or accessibility needs. Experience in school-route delivery, safeguarding and dependable daily attendance would strengthen credibility, particularly where students are hearing impaired and require a passenger assistant throughout transport. The successful supplier also needed to serve journeys connected with Guildford Grove Primary School and collect from separate locations including Ashford and Laleham. Businesses with disciplined route planning, appropriately trained assistants and the capacity to provide consistent assisted transport are the closest fit for this requirement.
