Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport for two pupils with special educational needs travelling to Knowl Hill School and its Bisley Campus in Woking. The service covers a shared saloon-car route for two pupils, with pick-ups in Reigate and Brockham. On weekday mornings, the Brockham pupil can be collected first, followed by the Reigate pupil. On Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, the Reigate pupil is collected first, followed by the Brockham pupil. On Wednesday and Friday afternoons, the order is reversed. The work is a local school transport service within Surrey, involving regular passenger journeys, route planning and reliable pupil transport.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot for the client transport service. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to Brookwood Cars and Taxis on 14 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £64,907.14 including tax. The awarded service is classified as passenger transport services and is being delivered under the light-touch regime. The selected supplier holds an active contract for the requirement, which covers transport to both Knowl Hill School sites and the specified weekday journeys.

This requirement demonstrates demand for dependable, small-scale SEND school transport using a saloon car and a shared route for two pupils. A credible competitor would need to organise recurring morning and afternoon collections, follow different passenger orders on different weekdays, and provide consistent journeys between Reigate, Brockham, Woking and Bisley. The work suits taxi and private-hire operators with suitable vehicles, dependable drivers and the operational discipline to manage school attendance times and pupil-specific routes. Experience of transporting children or passengers with additional needs would strengthen a future response, as would robust safeguarding, communication and contingency arrangements. The council’s use of a below-threshold limited competition indicates a focused route to market for this type of local transport service.
