UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for a child with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers one student travelling from Addlestone to Syon Manor College’s Vine House campus in Uxbridge, on route Q176A/26. The journey is recorded as 32.46 miles and requires a saloon car. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or infrastructure project. Suppliers operating accessible, reliable and suitably managed school or client transport services in Surrey and nearby areas would be relevant to this type of requirement. The council is the public-sector buyer, with the service focused on transporting the named student between home and college safely and consistently.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It comprised one lot. Surrey County Council awarded the service to HomeSafe Transport Ltd on 23 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a gross and net value of £24,975. The award covers the single SEND transport service for route Q176A/26. The recorded outcome shows an active award and contract, rather than an unsuccessful or cancelled process. Evaluation was conducted within the council’s limited-competition procedure; the available procurement record does not set out separate quality or price weightings.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for recurring, individualised SEND transport between a Surrey home location and a school in Uxbridge. A credible competing supplier would need dependable saloon-car capacity, strong safeguarding arrangements, appropriately vetted and trained drivers, and the ability to provide consistent journeys for a single student. Experience transporting children or young people with special educational needs would strengthen its position, alongside robust communication with the council, family and school when arrangements change. Operators serving Addlestone, Woking, Surrey and the Uxbridge area are well placed geographically. The limited-competition route indicates that relevant suppliers should maintain visibility with the council and be ready to evidence service reliability and compliance.
