UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) client transport services for Fox Grove School. The requirement covers transport for one pupil living in the CR3 postcode area, with one passenger assistant and one saloon vehicle for the journey. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement, classified under CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a local public authority. The service is connected to the school and the pupil’s home area, so suppliers operating in or able to cover Surrey and the CR3 area are the most directly relevant. The requirement is a single-pupil transport arrangement with an accompanying passenger assistant.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Ladysafe and Sons Ltd was selected for the single requirement. The award was made on 12 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £136,800 gross. The recorded contract and award are active. The process used limited competition, but the published details do not set out a separate scoring breakdown or award weighting. This outcome shows Surrey County Council’s chosen route for procuring a defined SEND transport service for one pupil, rather than a multi-lot or broad transport framework.

This procurement is commercially relevant to small and medium-sized passenger transport operators that can provide a saloon vehicle, transport one SEND pupil and supply one passenger assistant for a school journey. The requirement indicates demand for a dedicated, carefully matched transport service rather than general fleet capacity or high-volume bus operations. Suppliers with reliable access to suitable saloon vehicles and staff able to support a single-pupil journey would be well placed to compete when this buyer’s requirement returns to market. Local knowledge of the CR3 postcode area and the route to Fox Grove School would also support credible delivery. The award demonstrates that Surrey County Council uses a limited competition route for defined, below-threshold SEND transport needs.
