UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) client transport services for one pupil. The requirement is for travel in a saloon car to Maypole School, Green Street, Sunbury-on-Thames, with no specialist equipment needed. This is a passenger transport service rather than a supply or construction contract, and the journey requirement is specific to the named school destination. The procurement sits within the council’s wider client transport arrangements for the 2026–2034 period, with this requirement arising from the summer 2026 review. It is relevant to operators able to provide safe, reliable individual pupil transport using a saloon vehicle, including journeys to education settings.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected IBEX CARS on 12 August 2026. The active contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £30,921.43 including applicable taxes, in GBP. The award covers the single requirement for one pupil’s saloon transport and is classified as transport services. The procurement is subject to the light-touch regime. The award record identifies IBEX CARS as the successful supplier; no separate award values are reported. The contract is below the applicable threshold.

This award identifies a concrete requirement for individual SEND pupil transport in Surrey: a saloon vehicle, a school journey and no specialist equipment. Transport operators with suitable saloon-car availability, dependable scheduling and the ability to provide safe, consistent journeys for a child travelling to an education setting would be well placed for comparable work. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold limited competition indicates a route in which established local or regional operators may need to demonstrate that they can respond to a defined journey requirement efficiently. Experience of education transport, SEND passenger needs, safeguarding expectations and communication with the council would strengthen a competitor’s credibility when similar work is considered again.
