UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured a specialist passenger transport service for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is a dedicated route transporting one pupil to Maypole School on Green Street, Sunbury-on-Thames, using a saloon car. No specialist equipment is required. The service falls within general transport services, covering the movement of passengers rather than vehicle supply, construction or equipment provision. Delivery is centred on the journey to Maypole School, with the council as the public-sector buyer. This opportunity is therefore relevant to passenger transport operators, taxi and private-hire businesses, and other providers able to deliver reliable, safeguarding-conscious school transport for an individual SEND passenger.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It was divided into one requirement. IBEX CARS was selected as supplier, and the contract was signed on 12 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a gross value of £35,678.57 including any applicable taxes. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was conducted through the limited competition route; the published data identifies the service requirement and selected supplier but does not provide a separate scoring breakdown or detailed award criteria. This is an awarded outcome rather than an invitation to submit a bid.

This procurement demonstrates a defined need for individual-pupil SEND transport between the council’s area and a named school, using a standard saloon vehicle without specialist equipment. A credible future supplier would need to operate passenger transport reliably, provide a suitable saloon car and manage regular school journeys for a single pupil. Relevant strengths would include experience with school or SEND transport, dependable driver and vehicle arrangements, and the ability to meet safeguarding and passenger-care expectations associated with transporting a child. Taxi firms, private-hire operators and established local transport businesses are likely to be well placed where they can evidence consistent service delivery and respond to the council’s limited-competition procurement route.
