UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council is buying specialist school transport for three pupils with special educational needs attending The Park School in Woking. The service covers weekday travel for one pupil from Effingham, Leatherhead, and two pupils from the Leatherhead area, including West Horsley. It requires a medium seven-seat multi-purpose vehicle and a passenger assistant able to support a pupil with epilepsy. The assistant must undertake training with an NHS nurse and be able to administer emergency Buccolam if a seizure lasts longer than five minutes. The vehicle must also accommodate a collapsible wheelchair in the boot on occasional school trips or activity days. This is a local passenger transport service combining daily route operation with medically aware passenger support.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council signed the contract with uk car service on 11 August 2026. The contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with an awarded value of £191,918.57 including gross value in GBP. The award covers the single transport requirement and is classified as passenger transport services. The contract is active, while the tender is recorded as complete. This is a light-touch procurement rather than an open competition, so the route to award involved a limited field of suppliers. The selected supplier is uk car service, based in Woking.

This requirement demonstrates demand for reliable, weekday SEND transport serving Surrey schools and communities around Woking, Leatherhead, Effingham and West Horsley. A credible future competitor would need a suitable medium seven-seat vehicle, dependable route planning and the capacity to transport pupils safely and consistently. The service also calls for passenger assistants with practical experience supporting children with epilepsy, including training to administer emergency medication under clinical guidance. Providers should be able to manage occasional changes in passenger needs, such as carrying a collapsible wheelchair for school trips, while maintaining safeguarding, punctuality and continuity. Local operators able to combine accessible passenger care with compliant, resilient daily transport are the closest fit for this buyer’s requirement.
