UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers transporting two passengers travelling into Northmead CM LU, using a saloon vehicle, on a route from Guildford to Guildford. The work falls within transport services (CPV 60000000). Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer, based in Reigate, and the service is delivered in the Guildford area. This is a focused passenger-transport requirement rather than a general vehicle supply contract: relevance is strongest for operators able to provide safe, reliable journeys for SEND passengers in a saloon car and to manage the stated local route.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and awarded to Sonic Carz. It covers one lot and has an awarded contract value of £14,228.57 including gross value, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. The procurement used the light-touch regime and a limited procedure. The award is active and the contract is active. The evaluation resulted in a single supplier being selected for the transport requirement. The awarded supplier is an SME based in Epsom, Surrey.

This award demonstrates a recurring, tightly defined demand from Surrey County Council for SEND passenger transport on local education-related journeys. Competitors would need to provide a suitable saloon vehicle, dependable route operation and the capacity to transport two passengers between the specified Guildford locations. Credibility would also depend on demonstrating safe and consistent service for passengers with special educational needs and disabilities, alongside the operational discipline needed for regular scheduled journeys. Local knowledge of Guildford and the surrounding Surrey area would be commercially useful. Smaller transport operators may be well placed for this scale of requirement, particularly those able to combine appropriate vehicles with reliable drivers and robust day-to-day scheduling.
