Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) passengers under the requirement titled Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND. The awarded service covers transport to and from More House School for three pupils in a saloon car, with no passenger assistant required. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The work is associated with More House School and the council’s client transport provision in Surrey. The relevant service classification is transport services excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to Green line cars on 10 August 2026. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £32,586.43. One lot covered the requirement, and the award relates to that complete lot. Surrey County Council is the buyer. The published outcome identifies the winning supplier and an active contract, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or award weighting. This was conducted under the light-touch regime for services.

This outcome shows a defined local demand for scheduled SEND school transport: a small passenger requirement using a saloon car to carry three pupils, without a passenger assistant. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be established local private-hire, taxi or specialist passenger transport operators with suitable saloon vehicles, dependable school-run capacity and the operational ability to provide consistent journeys for children with additional needs. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller transport business rather than only a large fleet operator. Credibility would come from reliable daily service, appropriate safeguarding and passenger-care arrangements, and experience managing council-funded education transport.
