UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils travelling to and from More House School. The requirement was for a small multi-purpose vehicle carrying four pupils. A personal assistant was not required as part of the service. The work falls within passenger transport services and is intended to support regular education travel for a defined group of pupils. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer, with the transport requirement associated with its client transport responsibilities. The named service location is More House School; the procurement data does not identify a wider delivery area. This opportunity is therefore relevant to operators providing small-vehicle school or assisted passenger transport, particularly those able to manage SEND-related journeys.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One requirement was awarded to County Cabs Limited. The award was active and the contract was signed on 10 August 2026, with an awarded contract value of £37,819.29 including the stated gross amount. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender title describes a broader client transport services requirement for 2026 to 2034, while the awarded scope is the More House School service for four pupils. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition. The published outcome identifies County Cabs Limited as the selected supplier.

This procurement provides a clear example of Surrey County Council’s demand for small-scale, dedicated SEND pupil transport: a single vehicle sized for four pupils, serving a named school and operating without a personal assistant requirement. A credible competitor for comparable work would need access to a suitable small multi-purpose vehicle, enough operational capacity to provide dependable school journeys, and the ability to organise transport around pupils’ education attendance. The award to County Cabs Limited, identified as an SME, indicates that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused smaller transport operator rather than only a large fleet business. Operators with experience in school, passenger or SEND transport are the most closely aligned competitors when this buyer next reviews a similar requirement.
