UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) passengers under the Client Transport Services 2026–2034 programme. The requirement covered transport for six pupils attending More House School, using a medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle. A passenger assistant was not required. The service is classed as transport services, covering the movement of passengers rather than vehicle supply or general fleet management. Delivery is associated with More House School and the council’s SEND transport requirements in Surrey. This opportunity is relevant to passenger transport operators, school transport providers and vehicle hire businesses able to provide a suitable medium MPV and safely transport a group of six pupils without a passenger assistant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It consisted of one lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to uk car service 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. Its value is £39,722.14 gross. The award covers the transport service for the More House School requirement. The published procurement information identifies transport services as the classification and records a limited competition as the procedure. The selected supplier is uk car service, a Woking-based small or medium-sized enterprise.

This award demonstrates a defined Surrey County Council requirement for regular SEND school transport using a medium MPV to carry six pupils, with no passenger assistant. Competitors would need reliable access to an appropriately sized vehicle, the operational capacity to provide planned pupil journeys throughout the school service period, and the safeguarding, passenger-care and driving arrangements expected for SEND transport. Experience of school or specialist passenger transport would help demonstrate credibility, particularly where a provider can show dependable attendance, suitable contingency arrangements and the ability to work to council-managed routes and schedules. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that this scale of requirement can be delivered by a smaller local operator rather than only a national transport company. Surrey-based passenger transport businesses should monitor this buyer’s comparable requirements.
