UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured SEND client transport services for Merrywood House School in Tadworth. The requirement covers transport from Laleham to the school for one pupil, with no personal assistant and using a saloon car. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement. The work is associated with Surrey County Council and the journey connects Laleham with Tadworth. The procurement’s title indicates a wider client transport services programme, but the recorded requirement is this specific single-pupil journey. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are passenger transport operators able to provide a saloon car service for a child or young person travelling to a special educational needs and disabilities school.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to JJ Cars on 20 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £67,902.86 including gross value, in pounds sterling. The requirement was treated as a light-touch service procurement and consisted of one lot covering the transport service. The award covers transport services for the Laleham-to-Tadworth route and relates to the single-pupil SEND journey described above. JJ Cars is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

This award shows a defined requirement for specialist school transport on a single route, involving one pupil travelling to a SEND school in Surrey. A competitor would need to be able to operate passenger transport using a saloon car and cover the journey between Laleham and Tadworth reliably throughout the school-service period. The successful supplier was JJ Cars, recorded as an SME, indicating that the scale of this requirement can suit a smaller transport operator rather than only a large fleet business. Relevant providers are therefore local or regional passenger transport firms with practical capacity for a dedicated single-pupil journey and experience of supporting transport to special educational needs and disabilities settings.
