UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers a saloon car service for three pupils attending More House School, under the wider Client Transport Services programme. No passenger assistant is required. The work is a passenger transport service, rather than vehicle supply, fleet management or general school transport. It would suit an operator able to provide safe, reliable journeys for a small number of pupils, with appropriate arrangements for school travel and communication with the council. The named public-sector buyer is Surrey County Council. The requirement is associated with More House School, and the supplier selected was MPCars, a transport operator based in Woking.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to MPCars. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed and awarded on 10 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £25,688.57. One requirement was awarded, covering the saloon car transport service for three pupils. The award is recorded as active and the contract is active. The procurement was treated as a light-touch services process. The published information identifies the requirement and supplier but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or detailed award criteria, so the available process evidence is the limited competition route and the specified SEND transport scope.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for small-scale, dedicated SEND transport using a saloon car rather than a larger vehicle or passenger-assistant model. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate reliable passenger transport, provide a suitable saloon car, and manage regular journeys for three pupils attending More House School. Experience of transporting children or young people with SEND would be commercially relevant, alongside safeguarding-aware working practices, dependable attendance, clear communication with the council and school, and the capacity to maintain service continuity throughout a school-year contract. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold limited competition also shows a route suited to capable local or regional operators able to respond to focused transport requirements.
