Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Moor House School’s special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport requirement. The service covers two students travelling from Epsom to the school in Oxted. It requires one small multi-purpose vehicle with five passenger seats and one passenger assistant. The passenger assistant must be trained to administer emergency medication for epilepsy. This is a local passenger transport service combining regular school travel with additional care and safety responsibilities for children or young people with SEND. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority, and the service is delivered between Epsom and Oxted in Surrey. The relevant classification is CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Parkers of Reigate Ltd. The award was active and the contract was signed on 17 August 2026. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £160,058.57 including tax, and it is below the relevant threshold. The procurement uses the light-touch regime and is categorised as a services contract. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the published outcome identifies the selected supplier but does not set out separate evaluation weightings. The contract title is Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND, although the awarded contract period ends in July 2029.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for dedicated SEND school transport between Epsom and Oxted, at a scale requiring a small five-passenger-seat MPV rather than a larger fleet vehicle. A credible future competitor would need to provide dependable scheduled passenger transport for two students and accommodate a passenger assistant as part of the service. The requirement also demonstrates the importance of supporting medically vulnerable passengers: the assigned passenger assistant must be trained to administer emergency epilepsy medication. Transport operators with suitable local coverage, access to an appropriate MPV and the operational ability to provide trained passenger-assistant support would be well placed for a comparable requirement from this buyer. The award was made to an SME, indicating that this scale of service can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator.
