UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covered transport for two passengers travelling to Tadley Horizon, with a passenger assistant, using a saloon vehicle, on the Guildford-to-Tadley route. This is a passenger transport service rather than the supply of vehicles or general fleet services. The work falls within transport services, excluding waste transport. Delivery involves journeys between Guildford and Tadley, with passenger support provided during the service. The council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement was arranged as a single service lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to TSM PREMIER CARS. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 19 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The awarded contract value is £46,005.71 including gross value, in GBP. The active contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. The award covers the complete requirement for the two-passenger SEND transport service between Guildford and Tadley Horizon, including a passenger assistant and saloon vehicle. The selected supplier is TSM PREMIER CARS, based in West Byfleet.

This procurement shows a defined requirement for supported SEND passenger transport on a regular education-related route. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to operate suitable saloon vehicles, transport two passengers safely, provide a passenger assistant, and reliably cover journeys between Guildford and Tadley. The requirement is suited to an established passenger transport operator able to coordinate scheduled journeys, maintain continuity of service and meet the additional care needs associated with SEND travel. The awarded supplier is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the buyer accepted a supplier with the capacity to manage this service at the stated scale. Relevant experience in assisted school or education transport would strengthen a future response.
