UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel to More House School. The requirement was for a large multi-purpose vehicle to transport seven pupils, with no passenger assistant required. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract, with the service delivered for the school’s pupils in the Surrey area. The procurement falls within transport services, excluding waste transport. It was arranged by Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority, for a specific school transport requirement under its wider client transport services programme.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made to MPCars on 10 August 2026 for the single requirement. The active contract is valued at £35,202.86 gross, in pounds sterling, and was signed on 10 August 2026. Its contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement used the light-touch regime and was evaluated through the limited competition process. The award covers the complete requirement for transporting seven pupils in a large MPV to More House School, with no passenger assistant required. The tender and contract are recorded as complete and active respectively.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist school passenger transport: a large MPV with capacity for seven pupils, operated for SEND journeys to More House School without a passenger assistant. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be able to provide a suitably sized, dependable vehicle and deliver regular, safe pupil transport for a school route. Relevant operational strengths include managing passenger movements for children with SEND, maintaining vehicle availability throughout the school service period, and working reliably with a local authority’s transport arrangements. The small, single-school requirement may suit an established local operator with appropriate vehicle capacity and experience of council-funded education transport.
