UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Landon School’s special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision. The service covers three passengers, all travelling from Chertsey, and requires a medium-sized multipurpose vehicle. It includes passenger transport together with a personal assistant able to manage seizures and administer emergency medication. The procurement is for transport services delivered for the school’s passengers in and around Chertsey, under Surrey County Council’s responsibility as the public authority buyer. This is a focused passenger transport requirement rather than a general vehicle supply contract: suppliers need to provide the vehicle, transport operation and appropriately capable passenger support for vulnerable passengers with medical needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was divided into one completed lot and evaluated through that limited competition route. The contract was awarded to uk car service, a Woking-based supplier, and signed on 11 August 2026. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £116,333.57 including tax, and the procurement is below the applicable threshold. The award covers the full requirement for transport services for the three Landon School passengers. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one contract, with no separate lot or supplier values to distinguish.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a small specialist school transport operation in Surrey: a medium MPV carrying three passengers from Chertsey, supported by a personal assistant competent in seizure management and emergency medication administration. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would combine reliable passenger transport, suitable vehicle capacity and safeguarding-focused support for children or young people with SEND. Credibility would depend on being able to maintain consistent journeys, provide staff with the required medical competencies and manage the practical responsibilities of assisted transport, rather than simply offering a vehicle and driver. The award also shows that Surrey County Council uses a below-threshold limited competition route for this type of focused service, giving relevant operators a clear example of the buyer’s requirement and scale.
