Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned client transport services for More House School under its SEND transport requirements. The service is for five pupils and requires a medium-sized passenger vehicle (MPV); a passenger assistant is not required. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The requirement sits within the council’s school and special educational needs transport activity and is intended to provide journeys for the named pupils. The available information identifies More House School as the service destination but does not give a town or wider delivery area. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority in England.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. The successful supplier is uk car service, an SME. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and is active, with a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £39,484.29 including gross value, in GBP. The award covers the transport services associated with the single requirement for five pupils and an MPV. The published process uses the light-touch regime. No separate award weighting or evaluation criteria are recorded, so the available outcome identifies the route and successful supplier but does not explain how competing offers were scored.

This award shows a defined requirement for a transport operator able to provide a medium-sized passenger vehicle for five pupils travelling under a SEND school transport arrangement. A credible competitor would need suitable vehicle capacity, dependable daily school transport operations and the ability to deliver the service without a passenger assistant. The buyer used a below-threshold limited competition, so businesses monitoring Surrey County Council’s client transport requirements should be familiar with this route and able to respond to focused, individual school transport requirements rather than only large network contracts. The awarded requirement is modest in scale and suited to an SME-sized operator with appropriate vehicles, scheduling capacity and reliable delivery arrangements.
