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 Auriol Junior School. The requirement covers two students, with no personal assistant, using one saloon car with four passenger seats. The students are based in Sunbury-on-Thames and the school is in Epsom. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The service is specific to school travel for these pupils rather than a general transport arrangement. Suppliers operating suitable private hire, taxi or passenger transport services, with access to an appropriate saloon vehicle and the ability to provide journeys between Sunbury-on-Thames and Epsom, would be aligned with the requirement. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation.

The procurement has been completed and the tender status is complete. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Aaron Taxis and Cars Services Ltd, an SME. The award is active and was made on 14 August 2026; the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active, runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, and is valued at £88,920 gross. The arrangement covers the transport service for the two SEND students travelling to Auriol Junior School. The published outcome records one successful supplier for the requirement. The procurement was below the applicable threshold and used a limited competition route.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist school transport serving SEND pupils between Sunbury-on-Thames and Epsom. A credible competitor for similar work from Surrey County Council would need to provide passenger transport reliably for school journeys, accommodate two pupils without a personal assistant, and operate a saloon car with at least four passenger seats. The awarded supplier was an SME, showing that the scale and delivery model can suit a smaller transport business rather than only a large fleet operator. Relevant capability is therefore concentrated in dependable local or regional passenger transport, appropriate vehicle availability and the ability to meet a school-specific route and timetable. The requirement also indicates a below-threshold limited competition route for this buyer.
