Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned a client transport service for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision connected with More House School. The requirement was for one small multi-purpose vehicle to transport four pupils, with no passenger assistant required. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or general school transport contract. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, a local public authority based in Reigate. The requirement is specific to supporting pupils associated with More House School, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide a suitable small vehicle and carry out the required client transport service for the school’s pupils. The recorded procurement category is transport services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. uk car service, an SME based in Woking, was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 11 August 2026. The contract period is 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £39,722.14, inclusive of any applicable taxes. The award covers the transport service for four pupils using a small MPV, with no passenger assistant. The process was run under the light-touch regime. The available outcome records an active award and an active contract; there is no recorded cancellation or termination. The procurement title covers client transport services for SEND provision from 2026 to 2034.

This award is useful market evidence for operators providing specialist school and client transport with small vehicles. A credible competitor for this buyer would need access to a small MPV capable of carrying four pupils and the operational capacity to provide the required transport without a passenger assistant. The successful supplier’s SME status indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused local or regional operator rather than only a large transport group. Businesses with dependable vehicle availability, robust scheduling and experience transporting SEND pupils would be well placed to compete when comparable requirements return. The route used here—below-threshold limited competition—also shows the importance of being visible to the council for targeted opportunities.
