UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport for two students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), travelling to and from Maypole School (Melville) in Croydon. One student is based in Caterham and the other in Whyteleafe, both in the CR3 area, while the school is in Croydon, CR2. The requirement is for one saloon car with four passenger seats and does not include a passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The contracted route involves collecting the two students from their individual locations and transporting them to the named school. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority responsible for arranging the service.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Street Cars Redhill Ltd, an SME. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 24 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract is active for the period from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £87,400 gross. There was one completed lot covering the full requirement, and one supplier was selected. The award relates to the complete client transport service for the two SEND students, using the specified saloon vehicle and route between Caterham, Whyteleafe and Croydon. No award cancellation or contract termination is recorded.

This procurement demonstrates a recurring requirement for dedicated SEND school transport from Surrey County Council, delivered on a defined daily route between individual student homes and a named school. A credible future competitor would need to operate passenger vehicles suitable for school transport, provide a saloon car with sufficient seating for the stated journey, and have the operational capacity to collect students from separate locations and reach Croydon reliably. Local knowledge of Caterham, Whyteleafe and Croydon would support practical route planning and dependable delivery. The opportunity also indicates that the council uses below-threshold limited competitions for this type of service, so suppliers should be able to engage with focused, small-scale public-sector procurement exercises and demonstrate dependable SEND transport capability.
