UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned client transport services for a child or young person with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers transport for one pupil travelling from West Ewell to Ewell, using a saloon car. This is a local passenger transport service rather than a general fleet, bus or taxi operation. The relevant work category is passenger transport services (CPV 60000000). Suppliers would need to provide the vehicle and driving service needed for the individual journey, with delivery taking place in the West Ewell and Ewell area of Surrey. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier was selected: Sonic Carz. The award was made on 24 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £13,780.71 gross, in GBP. The requirement was treated as a light-touch procurement for services. The award covers the individual SEND transport service for one pupil and a saloon vehicle. The contract is active. The procurement record identifies a single requirement, with no separate award values or alternative suppliers reported.

This award provides a clear indicator of recurring local demand for dedicated SEND transport from Surrey County Council. Competitors would need to operate a suitable saloon vehicle and provide reliable, individual passenger transport between West Ewell and Ewell. Credibility would come from demonstrating safe, dependable service for a pupil with SEND, consistent attendance, suitable driver arrangements and the capacity to cover the required journey throughout the school service period. Local knowledge of the route and the ability to manage a small, dedicated transport requirement are commercially relevant. The award also shows that a small local operator can win this type of below-threshold, limited competition for a focused council transport service.
