UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils attending Leith Hill School. The requirement covers transport for two pupils, with one saloon car and no passenger assistant. The service operates between a pupil’s pickup point in postcode area GU4 8NE and the school, covering Guildford and Holmbury-St Mary. The scheduled journey pattern is every afternoon, with morning journeys three times each week. This is a direct, small-scale school transport requirement rather than a general bus service or high-volume passenger transport operation. It is categorised as transport services and is delivered for Surrey County Council’s education transport needs.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to MPCars. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 10 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £75,240 gross. The procurement comprised one requirement, covering the Leith Hill School transport service. The selected supplier is MPCars, and the contract is active. The process is recorded as complete, with the award and contract concluded for the stated service period.

This award shows demand for dependable, small-scale SEND school transport from Surrey County Council, using a saloon car rather than a fleet or coach operation. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have a suitable passenger vehicle, reliable availability for afternoon journeys and regular morning journeys, and the operational discipline to follow a fixed pupil transport manifest. Familiarity with school transport, safeguarding-sensitive passenger services and the practical needs of children with SEND would strengthen credibility. Local knowledge of Guildford, Holmbury-St Mary and the surrounding routes would also be useful. The successful supplier profile indicates that a focused transport operator can meet this type of requirement without a passenger assistant.
