UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for two pupils with special educational needs. The requirement was for a saloon car carrying both pupils from separate collection points: Bridge Road, East Molesey, and Littleworth Road, Esher, to 56 West Hill, Epsom. The service falls within passenger transport services and is focused on transporting pupils between their homes and the specified destination. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The named delivery area covers East Molesey, Esher and Epsom in Surrey. The requirement is a single transport service rather than a programme of works or a supply of vehicles, with the vehicle type identified as a saloon car.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and awarded to Sonic Carz. The contract value is £39,942.86 including gross value, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. There was one completed lot covering the transport service, and the award is active. The procurement used the light-touch regime and a limited procurement method. The published award identifies Sonic Carz as the selected supplier for the passenger transport requirement. The process was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available procurement record does not set out separate weighted award criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for small-scale, dedicated SEND pupil transport delivered by car rather than by a large vehicle fleet. A credible competitor would need to provide a saloon car service capable of collecting two pupils from separate addresses in East Molesey and Esher and transporting them to a destination in Epsom. Local knowledge of the Surrey routes and the ability to manage a regular journey between these places would be commercially relevant. Sonic Carz, identified as a small and medium-sized enterprise, shows that the requirement can be met by an SME rather than only by a major transport operator. Businesses with comparable passenger transport capability and capacity for dedicated school journeys should monitor this buyer’s related purchasing activity.
