Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for two passengers with special educational needs and disabilities travelling to St Dominics school. The requirement covers journeys between Leatherhead and Godalming using a small multi-purpose vehicle, with a passenger assistant accompanying the passengers. The passenger assistant must have asthma awareness. This is a passenger transport service delivered in Surrey, involving school travel and supported passenger care rather than general fleet or taxi provision. The council is the public-sector buyer, and the service is intended to support safe, assisted travel to and from school for the named passengers.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council awarded the requirement to iconnectcar on 18 August 2026. The resulting contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and is active, with a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £129,814.29 including VAT. The award covers the complete requirement for the two-passenger school transport service, including the small MPV, passenger assistant and asthma-awareness provision. The procurement used the light-touch regime and was treated as a services contract. No award cancellation or contract termination is recorded.

This requirement indicates demand for reliable, assisted school transport serving Surrey County Council, with the ability to provide a small MPV for two passengers and a dedicated passenger assistant. A credible competitor would need experience of transporting children or passengers with additional needs, dependable route planning between Leatherhead and Godalming, and the operational capacity to deliver regular school journeys safely. Passenger assistants should be able to demonstrate asthma awareness and appropriate safeguarding, communication and passenger-care skills. Suppliers combining vehicle availability, trained staff, continuity of service and strong safety procedures would be well placed when this council next reviews a comparable SEND transport requirement. The buyer's use of a below-threshold limited competition also shows a route suited to focused specialist operators.
