UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers transport from Woking to Chandlers Field Primary School in West Molesey for two pupils. The service is for a saloon vehicle and does not require a passenger assistant. This is a local passenger transport operation rather than a general fleet, logistics or school catering requirement. Businesses relevant to this procurement are operators able to provide reliable, appropriately managed journeys for SEND pupils between Woking and the school in West Molesey. The council is the buying organisation and the service is delivered on this specific route for the named school.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded to Traveline Transport Services, a Woking-based SME. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The single requirement was awarded as one lot. The contract was signed on 22 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £74,480 gross, including any applicable taxes. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies transport services as the category of work. The procurement records the selected supplier and the agreed contract period and value for this SEND transport requirement.

This outcome indicates a recurring need for small-scale, route-specific SEND school transport in Surrey. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to operate saloon vehicles, provide dependable journeys for two pupils, and manage the Woking to West Molesey route to Chandlers Field Primary School. Experience in passenger transport involving children with special educational needs would be directly relevant, particularly where the service is delivered without a passenger assistant. The existing award also shows that Surrey County Council uses a below-threshold limited competition for this type of service and that an SME transport operator can meet the requirement. Local operating knowledge and the capacity to sustain a regular school-term service would strengthen a future response.
