Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) attending More House School. The requirement was for a small multi-purpose vehicle to transport four pupils: three travelling from Woking and one from Normandy. The service is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport. No personal assistant was required as part of the arrangement. The work is associated with Surrey County Council and delivery involves pupil journeys from Woking and Normandy to More House School. This is a focused school transport requirement rather than a general passenger transport service, suited to operators able to provide safe, reliable and appropriately managed journeys for a small group of SEND pupils.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Surrey County Council awarded the requirement to iconnectcar on 14 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and has an active period from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its awarded value is £32,110.71 including applicable taxes, in GBP. There was one completed lot and one active award. The evaluation outcome selected a supplier for the specified transport service; the available procurement information identifies the limited competition route and the requirement’s service classification. This is an awarded outcome, not an invitation to submit a tender.

This procurement demonstrates a defined demand from Surrey County Council for small-scale SEND school transport serving More House School. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be able to provide a suitable small MPV, organise regular pupil journeys between Woking, Normandy and the school, and operate safely with four pupils travelling as a group. Relevant strengths would include experience transporting children or passengers with SEND, dependable scheduling, safeguarding and driver-management arrangements, and the operational capacity to maintain consistent service quality across the required routes. The absence of a personal-assistant requirement indicates that the core capability is vehicle provision and managed transport rather than an accompanying care service. Local knowledge of Surrey travel routes would support credible delivery.
