UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for three students attending Hopescourt School. The requirement is for a saloon vehicle with four passenger seats and does not include a personal assistant. Students are located in Addlestone and Weybridge, with journeys to the school in Walton-on-Thames. This is a passenger transport service supporting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The work is centred on transporting the named students between their local locations and school, rather than providing general school transport or a wider fleet operation. Businesses operating suitable passenger vehicles and able to provide reliable, child-focused transport between these Surrey locations would find the requirement most relevant. The relevant classification is CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Surrey County Council awarded the single lot to TSM PREMIER CARS on 17 August 2026. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026, has a gross value of £72,132.14, and runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation details recorded for this competition establish the route as a limited competition, but do not set out separate quality or price weightings. The award covers the full requirement for Hopescourt School: transport for three students, one four-seat saloon and no personal assistant. This was a single-lot procurement, not a multi-supplier award.

For a supplier assessing future Surrey SEND transport requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a dedicated, relatively small-scale student transport service rather than a large passenger operation. A credible competitor would need access to a suitable saloon vehicle with four passenger seats and the operational ability to provide dependable journeys from Addlestone and Weybridge to Walton-on-Thames. Experience of transporting children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities would be directly relevant, as would robust safeguarding, punctuality and day-to-day service coordination, although no specific accreditation or staffing qualification is recorded here. The limited-competition route also indicates that suppliers should be able to respond to targeted, below-threshold opportunities and clearly evidence their ability to deliver a defined route for a small number of students.
