UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for two pupils attending Conifers House School under its SEND client transport programme. The requirement is for a saloon car service with a passenger assistant. The passenger assistant must be trained in first aid and seizure management, follow the 999 protocol in line with each pupil’s care plan, understand asthma risks and support inhaler administration when required. This is a passenger transport service (CPV 60000000) delivered for the council’s education and care transport needs. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The selected provider was AA Mobility Services, based in Crawley.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to AA Mobility Services for the single requirement. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime, with the contract signed on 18 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is valued at £62,318.57 gross, including the stated contract value. The award covers the complete requirement rather than separate published lots. The outcome is an active contract for transport services, with the selected supplier providing the saloon car and passenger assistant arrangement for Conifers House School pupils. The procurement was evaluated through the council’s limited competition process.

This requirement indicates demand for a small-scale, specialist SEND transport operation rather than general passenger transport. A credible competitor would need to provide a suitable saloon car, reliable scheduled pupil transport and a passenger assistant able to work safely with children who may have seizures or asthma. Relevant capability includes first-aid training, seizure-management training, familiarity with the 999 protocol and the ability to follow individual care plans. The passenger assistant must also understand asthma awareness and support inhaler administration when required. Suppliers serving Surrey and nearby areas, with dependable staffing, safeguarding-minded procedures and the capacity to maintain a consistent single-route service, would be well placed for a comparable council requirement.
