UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision. The requirement is a transport route to Freemantles Secondary School for two pupils and a personal assistant, using a medium-sized passenger vehicle with seven or eight seats. The service falls within transport services (CPV 60000000) and is delivered in connection with the school route in Surrey. No specialist equipment is required. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is part of its client transport service provision. This is a focused passenger transport service rather than a general vehicle supply, school facilities contract or equipment-based accessibility project.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It comprised one lot. County Cabs Limited, a Woking-based small or medium-sized enterprise, was awarded the contract on 13 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and has a gross value of £109,343.57. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The award covers the complete requirement for the two-pupil route, personal assistant and medium passenger vehicle. The published outcome identifies the limited competition route but does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings.

This procurement shows Surrey County Council’s demand for reliable, small-scale SEND passenger transport linked to a specific school route. Suppliers best placed for comparable work are passenger transport operators able to provide a compliant seven- or eight-seat MPV, manage regular journeys for pupils and transport a personal assistant safely. Relevant operational capability includes dependable scheduling, safeguarding-aware staff, appropriate passenger care and the capacity to maintain consistent service for the full school-related requirement. A credible competitor would also need experience of working with a local authority or similar education and care setting, and the ability to deliver the route without relying on specialist equipment. County Cabs Limited’s SME status indicates that this type of requirement can suit a focused local operator rather than only a large national transport business.
