UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured special educational needs transport for five passengers travelling from Cranleigh to Gosden House School in Guildford. The service requires a large MPV and a passenger assistant. The route involves transporting passengers into the school, with the passenger assistant supporting their journey. The operational requirement includes handling an inhaler for asthma, which is to remain at the school because the passenger cannot self-administer it. The passenger assistant must also complete the specified Education for Health learning materials. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle-only hire, with delivery centred on the Cranleigh and Guildford journey and Gosden House School.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It was divided into one lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to iconnectcar, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £182,400 including gross value, with the currency stated as GBP. The published outcome records the requirement as a transport service. The award covers the full passenger transport requirement for the five-passenger route, including the large MPV and passenger assistant service.

This requirement is relevant to passenger transport operators with the capacity to provide a large MPV, manage a regular school journey and supply a trained passenger assistant. Suppliers need practical experience supporting children or young people with special educational needs, including following individual medical instructions and safeguarding requirements during transport. The passenger assistant role is substantive: it includes responsibility for the passenger’s welfare, handling the inhaler arrangement and completing specified learning materials. Operators with reliable vehicles, appropriately prepared staff, strong journey-planning controls and the ability to coordinate with a school are well placed for comparable Surrey County Council requirements. The opportunity also indicates demand for a dedicated route rather than general taxi provision.
