UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travelling to More House School. The requirement is for a saloon car carrying three pupils, with one pupil travelling on the morning journey only. A passenger assistant is not required. The service falls within transport services, covering the movement of pupils rather than vehicle supply or general passenger transport. Delivery is associated with More House School in Surrey, with the buying organisation based in Reigate. The requirement is a single, defined school transport route serving a small number of pupils and is intended to support their travel to and from education.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to iconnectcar following a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 10 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £25,688.57. The process used the limited procedure under the light-touch regime and comprised one completed lot. Surrey County Council selected iconnectcar for the transport service. The published outcome identifies the award and contract, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or additional evaluation criteria.

This procurement indicates demand from Surrey County Council for small-scale, specialist school transport serving SEND pupils and More House School. A credible future supplier would need to provide a suitable saloon car, reliably carry three pupils, manage a morning-only passenger requirement and operate without relying on a passenger assistant. The work suits an established local or regional transport operator able to deliver consistent school journeys, meet safeguarding and passenger welfare expectations, and manage regular term-time scheduling. Experience with SEND transport, education routes and communicating effectively with the council would strengthen a competitor’s position. The limited-competition route also indicates that suppliers should be prepared for focused, buyer-led procurement exercises rather than a large multi-route operation.
