UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport for five pupils with special educational needs and disabilities travelling to Worplesdon Primary School. The service requires one medium MPV, carrying one pupil from Guildford, three from Woking and one from Knaphill. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or general school transport contract. The work is centred on journeys between those communities and Worplesdon Primary School in Surrey. The council is the public-sector buyer. The requirement sits within the wider client transport services programme for SEND pupils, and involves transporting children safely and reliably to and from school. It would suit an operator with an appropriate medium MPV, suitable safeguarding arrangements and the ability to manage a small, defined school route.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made to MPCars on 13 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date, has an active status, and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £25,926.43, including the stated amount of £25,926.43, in GBP. The process used one lot covering the transport requirement. The published outcome identifies transport services as the procurement category, with CPV 60000000. The award is active and the contract is active, confirming that a supplier has been selected and the council has entered into the arrangement.

This award shows a defined local requirement for SEND pupil transport using a medium MPV, with demand spread across Guildford, Woking and Knaphill and a destination at Worplesdon Primary School. A credible future competitor would need dependable passenger transport operations, access to a suitable medium-sized vehicle and the capacity to cover a fixed school journey involving five pupils. Experience transporting children with special educational needs and disabilities would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would robust safeguarding, reliability and route-planning arrangements. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold limited competition indicates that suppliers able to provide a focused local service should understand this route and procurement approach. Operators should assess whether they can maintain consistent school-term delivery and manage the specific pickup geography.
