UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers transport for five passengers travelling from Epsom to Gosden House in Guildford, with a passenger assistant provided as part of the service. The vehicle specification is a large multipurpose vehicle (MPV), and the service category is passenger transport rather than vehicle supply or general fleet hire. Delivery is centred on the Epsom-to-Guildford journey and the receiving setting at Gosden House. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority responsible for arranging and funding the service.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It was structured as one lot. Ladysafe and Sons Ltd was awarded the contract on 14 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £124,821.43 including gross value as stated, and it is below the applicable threshold. The award covers transport services for the specified SEND journey, with the selected supplier providing the contracted service. The procurement was evaluated through the limited-competition route; the published outcome identifies the successful supplier and completed lot.

This requirement indicates sustained local-authority demand for dependable, assisted SEND passenger transport on a defined school journey. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to a suitable large MPV, the operational capacity to carry five passengers, and the ability to provide a trained passenger assistant alongside the driver. Experience of transporting children or young people with additional needs, safeguarding procedures, reliable route planning and punctual daily delivery would be important. Suppliers should also be able to manage the practical requirements of a regular Epsom-to-Guildford service and demonstrate that vehicles, staff and contingency arrangements can support consistent journeys to Gosden House.
