UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers a dedicated route for three pupils travelling from Ash Vale to William Cobbett Junior School, with a personal assistant travelling in a medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle. The service includes passenger transport and the provision of suitable seating equipment: one high-back booster seat and one booster cushion. Delivery is centred on Ash Vale and the school route to William Cobbett Junior School in Surrey. This is a council-funded local transport service rather than a general vehicle supply contract, and is relevant to operators experienced in safeguarded passenger transport and school journeys.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected uk car service as the supplier on 20 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £93,865.71 including gross value, in GBP. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. It covers one completed lot for the SEND transport route. The procurement used the light-touch regime and a limited procedure; the available process detail describes this as below-threshold limited competition. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded outcome identifies uk car service as the sole awarded supplier for the transport service.

This award indicates demand from Surrey County Council for small-scale, specialised school transport that combines vehicle provision, safe carriage of SEND pupils and passenger assistance. A credible future competitor would need to operate a suitable medium-sized MPV, provide or accommodate a personal assistant, and supply the specified booster equipment for young passengers. Practical capability in scheduled home-to-school routes, reliable pupil collection in Ash Vale and delivery to William Cobbett Junior School would be important. Suppliers should also be able to manage journeys involving children with additional needs, maintain dependable safeguarding and passenger-care arrangements, and deliver a consistent service on a single local route. The award to an SME shows that this requirement can suit a focused local transport operator rather than only a large fleet business.
