UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) journey. The requirement covers transporting one pupil from Worcester Park to Merrywood House – Abinger Campus in Dorking, using a saloon car and without a passenger assistant. The service falls within transport services, CPV 60000000. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work is centred on the route between Worcester Park and Dorking. This is a focused, individual-pupil transport requirement rather than a broad fleet, coach or general passenger transport service. It would be relevant to operators able to provide reliable, suitable vehicle-based journeys for a SEND passenger on this route.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to WAYDONE CARS LTD. The award is active and the contract was signed on 24 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028, with a value of £52,425 gross, including the stated contract value in GBP. The evaluation basis is reflected in the limited-competition procedure. The award covers the single SEND transport requirement for one pupil between Worcester Park and Abinger Campus in Dorking; no separate lots or additional awarded suppliers are recorded.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport on a defined school route. A credible future competitor would need to provide a saloon car and dependable service for a single pupil travelling between Worcester Park and Dorking, without relying on a passenger assistant. The requirement suits a small, local or route-focused transport operator able to manage regular school-related journeys and meet the practical needs of SEND transport. Relevant strengths would include dependable driver and vehicle availability, punctual collection and drop-off, safe passenger handling, and the operational capacity to maintain consistent service throughout a school term. The award to an SME shows that this scale of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator.
