UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has commissioned home-to-school transport for four students attending Hopescourt School. The service is for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), travelling from Addlestone to the school in Walton-on-Thames. The requirement is for one small multi-purpose vehicle with five passenger seats and does not require a passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The work is centred on transporting the named students between their home area and school, rather than providing general public transport or a wider vehicle fleet. Suppliers need to provide a suitable vehicle and operate the specified education transport journey for Surrey County Council.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected TSM PREMIER CARS for the single lot. The award was made on 17 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract value is £79,725 gross, in GBP. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The winning supplier is responsible for the transport service described for Hopescourt School, covering four students and one small five-seat MPV. The process used a limited procurement method under the light-touch regime. The award is active and the contract is active; there is no recorded cancellation or termination.

This award indicates a defined, recurring requirement from Surrey County Council for specialist school transport between Addlestone and Walton-on-Thames. A credible future competitor would need to provide a reliable small MPV with five passenger seats and organise regular journeys for four SEND students, with appropriate safeguarding, pupil welfare and school transport procedures. Operational strength would include dependable school-time scheduling, contingency arrangements for vehicle or driver absence, clear communication with the council and school, and the capacity to maintain consistent service throughout the academic year. Local knowledge of Surrey roads and the two named locations would support delivery. Experience transporting children or passengers with additional needs would help demonstrate suitability for this type of council requirement.
