UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured a passenger transport service for six passengers with special educational needs and disabilities travelling to Bramley Grange Academy. The requirement covers a journey from Chertsey to Guildford and includes a passenger assistant. The vehicle required is a large multi-purpose vehicle suitable for transporting the six passengers and supporting the passenger assistant. This is a local school transport service rather than general public transport, taxi provision for the wider public or vehicle supply. The work is categorised as transport services, excluding waste transport. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer responsible for the requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to County Cabs Limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime, with one completed lot. The award was made on 26 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £52,645.71 including tax. The award covers the full passenger transport requirement for the Bramley Grange Academy journey. The published procurement data identifies the competition route and service scope, but does not state a separate scoring or weighting basis for selecting the supplier.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist school transport, combining passenger movement with passenger-assistant support. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have experience transporting children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities, robust safeguarding and passenger-care arrangements, and appropriately trained drivers and passenger assistants. They would also need a large MPV capable of carrying six passengers alongside the required staff member, with dependable scheduling and operational resilience for regular education journeys. Local knowledge of routes between Chertsey and Guildford, school-run coordination and the ability to provide consistent daily transport would strengthen credibility. County Cabs Limited is identified as an SME supplier, showing that this scale and service model can be delivered by a smaller transport operator.
