Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for four special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) passengers travelling to Landon School. The route serves one passenger from Frimley and three passengers from Camberley. It requires a large multi-purpose vehicle and a passenger assistant to support the route and maintain passenger harmony. The work is a passenger transport service rather than general fleet or logistics provision, and delivery is centred on journeys involving Frimley, Camberley and Landon School in Surrey. The requirement is suited to operators able to provide safe, reliable assisted transport for children or young people with additional needs, with the appropriate vehicle and staffing arrangements for a small, defined route.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to HomeSafe Transport Ltd on 17 August 2026. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The single lot was awarded at a gross value of £113,837.14. The contract is active and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The awarded service covers the specified SEND transport route, including the required large MPV and passenger assistant. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition process; the available outcome records identify HomeSafe Transport Ltd as the selected supplier. This is an awarded contract, so it should be treated as evidence of the council’s settled purchasing route and requirement rather than as an opportunity to submit a tender.

This award is commercially relevant to passenger transport operators with experience of SEND or assisted school transport. A credible future provider would need to operate a large MPV, supply a suitably capable passenger assistant and manage a consistent route involving Frimley, Camberley and Landon School. The requirement also indicates that the council values the ability to coordinate a small passenger group safely and maintain a harmonious journey, rather than simply providing vehicle hire. Operators should therefore be able to demonstrate reliable safeguarding-focused transport, competent staff, suitable vehicles and dependable day-to-day route management. HomeSafe Transport Ltd’s selection shows that an established transport business can meet this type of local authority requirement through a limited-competition route.
