UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport services for four passengers with special educational needs and disabilities travelling to Thamesmead school. The requirement covers transport from Addlestone to Shepperton, using a medium-sized multipurpose vehicle and a passenger assistant. The passenger assistant must have diabetes awareness. This is a passenger transport service rather than a goods supply or construction requirement, and the work is associated with travel to the school destination and the specified Surrey route. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The service is classified under CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport. The requirement was arranged as a single service package.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to uk car service on 26 August 2026. The active contract is valued at £146,680 gross, including any applicable taxes, and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The process used the light-touch regime and was conducted under the Procurement Act 2023. One service package was completed and awarded. The published outcome identifies uk car service as the selected supplier. The requirement concerned transport for four passengers, a medium MPV, a passenger assistant and diabetes awareness, with the specified Addlestone-to-Shepperton journey to Thamesmead school.

This outcome indicates a defined requirement for specialist school passenger transport in Surrey, combining vehicle provision with passenger-assistant support. A credible future competitor would need to operate a suitable medium MPV, provide reliable transport for a small group of passengers with special educational needs and disabilities, and supply a passenger assistant able to support a passenger with diabetes awareness needs. Experience delivering assisted education transport, dependable route planning between Addlestone and Shepperton, and the operational capacity to maintain consistent journeys would be relevant. The award also shows that Surrey County Council uses below-threshold limited competition for this type of focused transport service, giving local and small transport operators a clear route to monitor.
