UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), under the title Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND. The requirement covers transport for The Abbey School, with two passengers in total: one travelling from Dorking and one from Godalming. The service requires a small multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) for this route. The work is passenger transport rather than vehicle supply, and falls within the broad category of transport services. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer. The stated journey requirement links Dorking and Godalming with transport provision for The Abbey School, so relevant suppliers need to assess their ability to operate this specific route and support passengers travelling to and from the school.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to TSM PREMIER CARS on 11 August 2026, with a gross value of £3,321.43. The contract is active and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. It covers one completed lot for the specified SEND transport route. The procurement used a light-touch regime and the award was based on the limited competition process. The awarded supplier is TSM PREMIER CARS, trading from West Byfleet. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026. The recorded classification is transport services, excluding waste transport. No separate award values or additional suppliers are recorded for this requirement.

This award shows a defined requirement for specialist school transport serving SEND passengers, with a small MPV used for a short, specified route involving Dorking and Godalming. Suppliers considering comparable work for Surrey County Council would need access to a suitable small MPV, the operational capacity to provide reliable passenger journeys, and the ability to manage a two-passenger school transport service. Local knowledge of the named journey points and practical experience transporting children or young people with SEND would help a competitor demonstrate credibility, although the published procurement does not state specific qualifications or accreditations. The limited-competition route and modest single-route scale indicate an opportunity suited to transport operators able to mobilise a focused local service rather than providers seeking a large multi-route contract.
