Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured passenger transport services for three passengers travelling to Fernways School. The requirement is for a saloon vehicle serving travel between Chertsey and Windlesham, for children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The work is a local transport service rather than the supply of vehicles or general facilities management. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer, based in Reigate. The service delivery locations are Chertsey and Windlesham, with Fernways School as the destination. The procurement falls within the broad transport services category. It concerns a single route and passenger requirement under the council’s client transport services programme.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Euro Taxis was selected as the supplier. The award was made on 19 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £23,477.14 including tax. The competition used a limited procurement method under the light-touch regime. The published requirement covered one route and one service package: saloon transport for three passengers travelling to Fernways School. The award relates to transport services, and the contract remains active following signature.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for dedicated, local school transport for passengers with special educational needs and disabilities. A credible future competitor would need to provide a saloon vehicle and reliably transport three passengers between Chertsey and Windlesham, including service to Fernways School. The requirement is suitable for a focused local passenger-transport operator rather than a supplier offering only large-scale fleet services. Euro Taxis, the selected supplier, is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that a smaller specialist business can compete for this type of council requirement. Relevant strengths are dependable route operation, appropriate passenger transport capability and capacity to deliver the specified school journey.
