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 at Greenholm School in Sutton. The requirement covers transport for one pupil who lives in the CR3 postcode area, with one passenger assistant to support behaviour during the journey. The service requires a medium-sized vehicle with six to seven passenger seats. This is a passenger transport service rather than a general fleet, school transport or vehicle supply contract. The delivery area links the pupil’s home in the CR3 area with Greenholm School, Sutton, so suppliers need to assess their ability to operate that journey reliably and provide the specified vehicle and passenger-support arrangement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 13 August 2026 to Ladysafe and Sons Ltd. It was run by Surrey County Council as a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded, with a contract value of £144,400 including the stated gross amount. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award covers transport services for the single SEND requirement, including the medium vehicle and passenger assistant provision. The selected supplier is based in Epsom. The published outcome records the award as active and the contract as active.

This award shows a defined requirement for specialist school transport supporting a pupil with behavioural needs, rather than standard passenger transport alone. A credible competitor for a future requirement from Surrey County Council would need to provide a suitable six-to-seven-seat MPV or comparable medium vehicle, transport one pupil from the CR3 area to Greenholm School in Sutton, and supply a passenger assistant able to support behaviour during the journey. Local operating capability around Surrey and Sutton would be commercially relevant because the work involves a specific home-to-school route. Experience delivering reliable SEND or assisted passenger transport would help demonstrate that the supplier can meet the practical needs of this type of service.
