UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) journey connected with More House School. The requirement was for a saloon car to transport one pupil. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general fleet contract. Delivery is associated with Surrey County Council and the More House School journey, with the named buyer based in Reigate. The requirement sits within the wider Client Transport Services 2026–2034 programme, but this procurement concerns one specific pupil route. The relevant business profile is a small or larger passenger transport operator able to provide a suitable saloon car and reliable, appropriately managed journeys for a child or young person travelling to school.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded to uk car service. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 11 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with an awarded value of £39,722.14 including applicable taxes. There was one completed lot covering the single transport requirement. The award relates to transport services, classified under CPV 60000000. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and confirms that the process proceeded through limited competition; the available procurement record does not set out a separate weighting or scoring basis for evaluation.

This award is relevant to passenger transport businesses that can provide dependable home-to-school or education transport for SEND passengers using a saloon car. A credible competitor would need operational capacity for a dedicated single-pupil journey, dependable vehicle availability, and the ability to deliver consistent service throughout the school timetable. Experience of transporting children or young people with additional needs would be commercially relevant, particularly where journeys require care, punctuality and close adherence to agreed arrangements. Local knowledge of Surrey and the surrounding school journey network could support efficient delivery. The award also shows that Surrey County Council uses below-threshold limited competition for focused client transport requirements, so smaller specialist operators may be well placed when comparable council transport needs return to market.
