UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils travelling to Fox Grove School. The requirement covers transport for three pupils: two travelling in the morning and three in the afternoon. Journeys are for pupils living in the SM7 postcode area. The service requires a small multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) with five to six passenger seats. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000, rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement. The purchasing authority is Surrey County Council, with delivery centred on transporting pupils between their homes in the SM7 area and Fox Grove School.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It was treated as a light-touch services procedure and was divided into one lot. K and M Cars was selected as the supplier, with an award date of 11 August 2026. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026, has a value of £89,680 gross, and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The contract is recorded as active. The evaluation outcome therefore reflects a completed competition for a defined school transport route, with the requirement assessed through the council’s limited-competition process rather than an open tender.

This award indicates a recurring requirement for specialist school transport linking pupils in the SM7 postcode area with Fox Grove School. A credible future competitor would need to provide a small five- to six-seat MPV and organise reliable morning and afternoon journeys for SEND pupils, including the differing passenger numbers across those journeys. The requirement is suitable for a focused local passenger transport operator rather than a large fleet-only provider: the selected supplier is an SME based in Leatherhead. Businesses with access to an appropriate vehicle, practical route-planning capability and capacity to maintain consistent school-day transport would be well placed to assess similar requirements from Surrey County Council when this service returns to market.
