UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is a transport route into Chertsey High School for three pupils, using a small multi-purpose vehicle. The work is delivered for Surrey County Council and involves transporting the pupils to and from the school route described in the requirement. This is a passenger transport services opportunity, classified under CPV 60000000. It sits within the council’s client transport provision for SEND pupils and is therefore relevant to operators that provide safe, reliable school transport using appropriately sized vehicles and can support the needs of children travelling to education settings.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected Hilz Transport, a small or medium-sized enterprise, for the single requirement. The award is active and the contract was signed on 12 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £47,931.43 including gross value, in GBP. The tender used the light-touch regime and was limited to a single completed lot. The award covers the transport services for the route into Chertsey High School for three pupils. No separate evaluation weighting or award criteria are recorded in the procurement outcome.

This procurement demonstrates a defined local requirement for specialist SEND school transport rather than general fleet or large-scale public transport provision. A credible competitor for similar work would need experience operating passenger transport for children with additional needs, a small multi-purpose vehicle suitable for the specified passenger group, and the capacity to provide a consistent school route. Reliability, safeguarding-minded operating practices, and the ability to work to a school timetable would be commercially important capabilities for this buyer’s requirement. The award to Hilz Transport, recorded as an SME, indicates that a smaller transport operator can deliver this scale of service. Operators with comparable local coverage and practical experience in education transport would be well placed when assessing similar Surrey County Council requirements.
