UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils travelling to Hopescourt School in Walton-on-Thames. The requirement covers four students, with no personal assistant, using one small multi-purpose vehicle with five passenger seats. The students are located in Ashford and Laleham, while the school is in Walton-on-Thames. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement. The council is the public-sector buyer and the service is arranged for a specific school journey requirement. The procurement falls within transport services, excluding waste transport, and is subject to the light-touch regime for below-threshold services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made to Eagle Cab Ltd on 17 August 2026, with an awarded contract value of £94,151.43 including gross value in GBP. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. One lot was awarded, covering the full stated transport requirement. The contract remains active. Evaluation details are not set out beyond the use of a limited competition, so suppliers assessing the outcome should focus on the council’s chosen route, the dedicated SEND passenger transport scope and the service period established by the award.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist school transport between Ashford and Laleham and Hopescourt School in Walton-on-Thames, serving four SEND students without a personal assistant. A credible future competitor would need to provide a suitable small MPV with at least five passenger seats and reliably deliver the required school journeys for the whole service period. The successful supplier, Eagle Cab Ltd, is recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller transport operator rather than only a national fleet business. Relevant strengths therefore include dependable passenger transport operations, suitable vehicle availability, route planning for school travel and the capacity to support SEND journeys consistently for a named school and pupil group.
