UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils travelling to Greenholm School in Sutton. The requirement covered two pupils and one saloon vehicle. The pupils live in the KT23 and KT18 postcode areas, so the service involves transport between those areas and the school. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply or general freight. It is relevant to operators providing dedicated school transport, particularly businesses able to organise suitable journeys for a small number of pupils using a saloon car. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, a local public authority, and the service is associated with its education and pupil transport responsibilities.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Ladysafe and Sons Ltd through a below-threshold limited competition. The procedure used limited competition under the light-touch regime. There was one completed lot, evaluated as a transport services requirement. The award was made on 13 August 2026 to Ladysafe and Sons Ltd, an SME, for £83,600 gross in total. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one service requirement: transport for the two SEND pupils using a saloon vehicle. The procurement was below the applicable threshold.

This outcome shows a defined local requirement for SEND pupil transport delivered through a small, below-threshold competition rather than a large open tender. A credible future competitor would need to provide a saloon vehicle and organise reliable journeys for two pupils between the KT23 and KT18 postcode areas and Greenholm School in Sutton. The small passenger group means the opportunity is suited to operators with capacity for dedicated, carefully managed school transport rather than providers focused only on high-volume routes. Businesses considering similar work for Surrey County Council should be able to demonstrate practical control of recurring school journeys, appropriate arrangements for transporting SEND pupils, and the ability to respond to a limited competition process.
