Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Greenholm School under its SEND provision. The requirement covers transporting two pupils who live in the KT15 postcode area, using one saloon vehicle. One passenger assistant is also involved and must complete online seizure-awareness training. The transport service therefore supports school journeys for children with additional needs, with an operational requirement to follow the 999 emergency protocol if a seizure occurs. The work is associated with transport services and is delivered for Greenholm School and the pupils’ journey requirements in the KT15 area. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation and the requirement is a single service package rather than a programme covering multiple separately described lots.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to TSM PREMIER CARS. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 13 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with an awarded and contracted value of £147,440 gross. The procurement comprised one lot, covering the Greenholm School SEND transport requirement. The contract is active and the tender is recorded as complete. The published outcome identifies TSM PREMIER CARS as the selected supplier. The procurement was conducted under the legal framework for the 2023 procurement legislation.

This requirement demonstrates demand for dependable, small-scale SEND school transport from Surrey County Council. A credible future competitor would need to provide a suitable saloon vehicle and organise safe, consistent journeys for two pupils in the KT15 area. The service model also requires a passenger assistant who can complete seizure-awareness training and respond appropriately by following the 999 emergency protocol if a seizure occurs. Relevant suppliers are therefore likely to be operators able to combine vehicle availability, passenger-assistance arrangements and practical experience of transporting children with additional needs. The awarded contract shows that the council purchases a focused transport service rather than a large fleet operation, making local operational coverage and reliable day-to-day delivery central to competing for this type of requirement.
