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 Philip Southcote School. The requirement covers one route carrying six pupils in a large eight-seater MPV. Pick-up locations are five addresses in Ashford and one in Shepperton, with the journey serving the school. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or equipment installation contract, and the requirement states that no additional equipment is needed. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a public authority responsible for services across Surrey. The relevant service category is transport services, excluding waste transport. The arrangement is focused on transporting children and young people with SEND safely and reliably on a defined school route.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Mums and Sons Ltd. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award date was 18 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded contract value is £38,057.14 gross. One supplier was selected for the single route. The contract is recorded as active, while the tender is complete. The requirement may involve the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE), so bidders were directed to consider the implications carefully. The route requires an Epsom and Ewell licence.

This procurement shows demand from Surrey County Council for specialist school transport delivered with a large eight-seater MPV and capacity for six SEND pupils. A credible future competitor would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles, provide dependable scheduled pick-ups across Ashford and Shepperton, and transport children safely to Philip Southcote School. Experience of SEND transport would help demonstrate the safeguarding, communication and operational discipline expected for a pupil route. The supplier would also need the required Epsom and Ewell licensing position and the ability to manage a defined school service reliably. Where staff transfer applies, relevant TUPE capability and workforce continuity would be important. The scale suits an established transport operator able to dedicate a suitable vehicle and driver resource to one route.
