UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) journey to Maypole School, Green Street, Sunbury-on-Thames. The requirement is a route for one pupil travelling from an address in Esher to the school. The service is for passenger transport rather than goods, construction or general facilities management. It uses a saloon car and does not require specialist equipment. The work is centred on the journey between Esher and Maypole School in Sunbury-on-Thames, serving the council’s SEND transport requirements. This is a small, clearly defined passenger transport service for a single school route, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide reliable individual-pupil journeys using an appropriate saloon vehicle.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to MM CARS. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award date and contract signing date were 19 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is valued at £23,785.71 including gross value, in pounds sterling. There was one completed lot covering the transport service, and the award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process. The recorded service classification is transport services excluding waste transport. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The awarded supplier is MM CARS, based in Mitcham.

This requirement demonstrates a recurring operational need for Surrey County Council: dependable, individual transport for a pupil with SEND between Esher and a named school in Sunbury-on-Thames. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be local passenger transport operators with a suitable saloon car, the capacity to provide a consistent school journey for one passenger, and the reliability needed for education travel. Experience of school transport, SEND journeys, safeguarding responsibilities and working to fixed school timetables would strengthen a future competitor’s position. Because no specialist equipment is required, the main differentiators are suitable vehicle provision, dependable drivers, route knowledge, punctuality and the ability to manage council transport requirements through a limited competition route. The awarded supplier’s performance provides a useful benchmark for this buyer’s single-route transport demand.
