UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport services for three pupils with special educational needs and disabilities travelling to St Joseph’s School. The requirement covers a medium multi-purpose vehicle journey from Woking to Cranleigh, with a passenger assistant accompanying the passengers. The passenger assistant must be trained in asthma awareness and the administration of asthma treatment. This is a local authority service contract in the transport services category, covering the safe and supported movement of school passengers rather than general vehicle hire. Delivery involves the Woking and Cranleigh areas, with St Joseph’s School as the destination. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement sits within its client transport services programme.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to uk car service, an SME based in Woking. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and has an active period from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its gross value is £129,814.29. The award covers transport services for the specified SEND school journey and associated passenger-assistant provision. The recorded procurement route was a limited competition, meaning the council selected suppliers to participate rather than using an unrestricted procedure. The award outcome identifies uk car service as the successful supplier for the complete requirement.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for dependable SEND school transport delivered through a local, small-business provider. A credible future competitor would need to operate a suitable medium MPV, provide consistent journeys between Woking and Cranleigh, and safely transport three school passengers to St Joseph’s School. The requirement also demonstrates that passenger-assistant capability is central: staff must be able to accompany vulnerable passengers and hold practical training in asthma awareness and asthma-treatment administration. Suppliers with reliable scheduling, safeguarding-conscious passenger care, appropriately trained assistants and the capacity to deliver a dedicated school route would be well placed for comparable work from this buyer. Experience of specialist education or accessible passenger transport would support credibility.
