UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for two pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement is for a saloon car to transport one pupil from Woking and another from Cobham to 56 West Hill in Epsom. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement. The journeys serve a specific education-related destination in Epsom, with collection points in Woking and Cobham. Businesses relevant to this requirement are operators able to provide passenger transport using a saloon car for SEND pupils across these Surrey locations. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority based in Reigate.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It comprised one lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to Lima Cars, and the award is active. The award date was 17 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £68,476 including gross value, in GBP. The contracted service is classified as transport services. The published process records the outcome and contract arrangements, rather than an invitation for further suppliers to submit responses.

This procurement shows a defined local market for SEND passenger transport serving Surrey County Council, with a requirement that can be delivered by an SME: Lima Cars was selected as the supplier. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to operate suitable saloon-car transport and cover journeys from Woking and Cobham to the specified destination in Epsom. The opportunity is suited to businesses whose core capability is transporting pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, rather than general vehicle hire or unrelated passenger services. The buyer and journey pattern provide a useful reference point for suppliers tracking recurring council demand for focused, route-based SEND transport.
