UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for Castle Garden School under its special educational needs and disabilities transport requirement. The service covers a single route for two passengers travelling from Woking, with the destination at Castle Garden School. The specified vehicle is a small multi-purpose vehicle, so the requirement is suited to an operator able to provide that vehicle and transport passengers safely on the stated journey. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract. The relevant classification is CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate, and the operational activity is centred on Woking and Castle Garden School.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made to iconnectcar on 17 August 2026. One contract was signed on the same date for £47,432.14 gross, including the stated contract value, in GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The requirement was treated as a light-touch service and was arranged as one lot. The successful award covers the full passenger transport requirement for the Castle Garden School route. This outcome identifies the route, service scale and procurement route used by Surrey County Council for this requirement.

This procurement is commercially relevant to passenger transport operators that can provide a small MPV and deliver dependable journeys for children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities. A credible competitor would need to plan and operate a dedicated route for two passengers between Woking and Castle Garden School, with the staffing, safeguarding, passenger-care and operational controls needed for SEND transport. The award also shows that Surrey County Council uses a below-threshold limited competition for a small, defined transport requirement rather than a large network-wide service. Operators with experience of school or specialist passenger transport, suitable vehicles and the capacity to manage a consistent route would be well placed for comparable requirements from this buyer.
