UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for a student with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers one student travelling from East Molesey to Dorton College FE, Orpington College of Further Education, in Orpington. It is a dedicated route, identified as Q372F/26, using a saloon car, with no personal assistant required. The journey is recorded as 77.42 miles. The service falls within passenger transport services and is intended to provide reliable travel between the student’s home location and further-education setting. This is a council-funded service delivered in Surrey and the surrounding London area, with the route connecting East Molesey and Orpington. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Herts and London Minicabs Limited Limited was selected as the supplier. The award was made on 14 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £32,824.29 gross, including the stated contract amount, and it is below the applicable threshold. The procurement used a light-touch regime and comprised one completed requirement. The award covers the full client transport service for the named SEND route. The recorded service classification is transport services, excluding waste transport.

This requirement is commercially relevant to minicab firms, school transport operators and other passenger transport providers able to deliver a dependable, individual student journey. A suitable competitor would need access to a saloon vehicle, a driver able to provide consistent term-time or education-related travel, and the operational capacity to cover the East Molesey-to-Orpington route. The award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for small-scale, dedicated SEND transport rather than only large group or fleet operations. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that a smaller local or regional operator can satisfy this type of council requirement. Credibility on a future equivalent service would depend on reliable scheduling, safeguarding-aware operations, vehicle suitability and the ability to maintain the route throughout the required service period.
