UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers a small multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) carrying four pupils from Hindhead to More House School, with no passenger assistant required. The service is categorised as passenger transport services. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer and the work involves transporting pupils between Hindhead and the school. This is a single-route, school-related transport requirement rather than a general bus, taxi or fleet-services contract. It is therefore most relevant to operators able to provide a suitably sized vehicle and reliable, safeguarding-focused transport for a small number of SEND passengers.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to 24x7 Surrey. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 18 August 2026. The active contract is valued at £32,576.91 including gross value, in pounds sterling, and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender and its single lot are complete. The stated award relates to the full requirement for transport services, evaluated through the limited competition process. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026. The selected supplier is recorded as 24x7 Surrey, an SME based in Dunmow, Essex.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for dedicated, small-scale SEND school transport serving Surrey County Council. A credible competitor for this type of work would need access to a small MPV, the operational capacity to carry four pupils reliably, and experience providing safe passenger transport for children with special educational needs or disabilities. The route requires dependable journeys from Hindhead to More House School, so local geographic knowledge, robust scheduling and contingency arrangements would strengthen a future response. The absence of a passenger-assistant requirement indicates that this particular service was designed around transport provision rather than an onboard care role. Suppliers should also be comfortable competing through a below-threshold limited-competition route and delivering a school-term transport service for a public authority.
