Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision. The requirement covers transport for one pupil attending More House School, using one saloon vehicle. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or infrastructure project, with the supplier responsible for providing the vehicle and carrying out the required client journey. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority. The procurement is therefore relevant to operators of saloon cars or small passenger transport businesses able to provide an individual, school-related transport service for a SEND passenger. The relevant service category is passenger transport services, classified under CPV 60000000.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It covered a single requirement, and the active award went to uk car service, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and has a value of £39,960 including gross value, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a light-touch regime for the process. The published information identifies the winning supplier and the awarded requirement, but does not set out separate scoring or weighting details. This is an outcome notice, not an invitation to submit a bid.

This procurement shows a defined requirement for individual SEND passenger transport using a single saloon vehicle, serving one pupil linked to More House School. Competitors would need to operate a suitable saloon vehicle, provide dependable scheduled passenger transport and manage journeys for a child or young person with SEND. The small scale makes the requirement relevant to local taxi, private hire and specialist passenger transport operators rather than only large fleet businesses. The award to uk car service, identified as an SME, indicates that a smaller operator can compete for this type of council requirement. Businesses tracking Surrey County Council should use this contract as evidence of demand for focused, vehicle-level SEND transport services.
