UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured a client transport service for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) school travel. The requirement covers transport for one student travelling from East Molesey to Leatherhead Trinity School in Leatherhead. The route is for a single student, without a passenger assistant, using a saloon car with four passenger seats. The service falls within general transport services and is intended to support regular travel between the student’s location in East Molesey and the school in Leatherhead. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, serving Surrey. This opportunity is relevant to passenger transport operators, private hire and taxi businesses, and small local providers able to deliver reliable, individual school journeys for children and young people with SEND.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to K and M Cars on 13 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £77,900 gross. The procurement used a light-touch regime and comprised one completed requirement covering the Leatherhead school transport service. K and M Cars is the selected supplier, and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies the service category as transport services. The award was made through limited competition rather than an open procedure, so the route to market involved a restricted field of suppliers invited to participate.

This award demonstrates a defined local demand for individual SEND school transport between East Molesey and Leatherhead. A credible future competitor would need to operate suitable saloon vehicles, provide at least four passenger seats, and reliably transport one student without a passenger assistant. The requirement suits a small private hire, taxi or specialist passenger transport business with dependable daily scheduling, route planning and safeguarding arrangements for school-age passengers. Local knowledge of East Molesey, Leatherhead and the surrounding Surrey road network would support consistent delivery. Businesses should also be prepared to compete through a below-threshold limited-competition route, where the buyer may assess a focused group of capable transport providers rather than invite bids from the whole market.
