UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for The Park School under its SEND client transport requirement. The service covers one route carrying three passengers in total: two from Dorking and one from Guildford. It requires a medium-sized MPV and a passenger assistant. The passenger assistant must complete epilepsy awareness training, making this relevant to operators able to provide safe, supported transport for children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The work is passenger transport rather than vehicle supply or general logistics, and is delivered on the journeys between the specified Surrey locations and The Park School. The procurement falls within transport services, classified under CPV 60000000.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used a limited procurement method under the light-touch regime and comprised one lot. The award was made to Brookwood Cars and Taxis on 21 August 2026. The contract is active, signed on the same date, and runs from 1 September 2026 to 27 November 2026. Its gross value is £13,671.43, including the stated amount in GBP. The award covers the single SEND transport route described above. The available data records the outcome and procurement route but does not set out a separate weighted evaluation basis.

This award indicates a defined requirement for small-scale, specialist SEND transport from Surrey County Council, with a medium MPV, a passenger assistant and epilepsy-awareness capability needed for the service. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would be established passenger transport operators able to manage school journeys involving children or young people with additional needs, provide suitable vehicles and passenger assistants, and demonstrate safe operating procedures. Relevant operational strength includes reliable coverage of Dorking, Guildford and the school location, route planning for a small number of passengers, and staff training for medical or safeguarding-related needs. Experience delivering contracted education or social-care transport would help a competitor show it can meet the council’s practical service expectations.
