UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured mainstream child transport services for Knaphill Junior School. The requirement covers transporting one pupil in Woking, with a personal assistant, a collapsible wheelchair and a saloon car. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement. The work is connected with the school and pupil journey in the Woking area, and is bought by Surrey County Council as the public authority responsible for the service. Suppliers operating school transport, escorted passenger transport or accessible transport services would find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they can provide a suitable saloon vehicle and support the specified passenger and escort arrangements.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to uk car service, a Woking-based supplier. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime, with one completed lot. The award was made on 11 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £30,683.57 including gross value, in GBP. The award covers transport services. The published process identifies the requirement and limited competition route, but does not set out a separate scoring split or detailed award criteria. The selected supplier is an SME.

This award indicates a defined local market for contracted school transport in Surrey, combining routine pupil travel with passenger assistance and wheelchair accommodation. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need dependable passenger transport operations in or around Woking, a suitable saloon vehicle, and the ability to carry a collapsible wheelchair safely. It would also need to provide or coordinate a personal assistant for the journey and deliver consistent, child-focused service to a school timetable. The award to an SME shows that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator, rather than only by a large transport business. Relevant experience in school, assisted or accessible passenger transport would strengthen credibility.
