UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured passenger transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel. The requirement covers transporting five passengers to Thamesmead School, using a medium multi-purpose vehicle, on the route from Chertsey to Shepperton. This is a local school transport service rather than a general haulage or goods-delivery requirement. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The work is therefore suited to operators able to provide reliable passenger transport for a small group of pupils travelling to and from school, with suitable vehicle capacity and operational coverage between Chertsey, Shepperton and Thamesmead School. The relevant service classification is CPV 60000000, covering transport services other than waste transport.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one completed lot. Hilz Transport was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 26 August 2026. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 until 31 July 2029, with a value of £85,120 including tax. The recorded procurement category is services and the procedure is under the light-touch regime. The award covers the single SEND transport requirement for the Thamesmead School route. The available outcome records identify the selected supplier and contract value; no separate scoring or weighting basis is recorded for the award. This was a limited, rather than open, competition.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for recurring, school-focused SEND passenger transport between Chertsey, Shepperton and Thamesmead School. A credible future supplier would need to operate a medium MPV capable of carrying five passengers and provide dependable coverage for the full school travel requirement. Experience in passenger transport is directly relevant, particularly where journeys involve pupils with special educational needs or disabilities and require consistent, safe and punctual service. Smaller transport businesses may be well placed for this scale of route: the selected supplier is recorded as an SME. Competitors should be able to demonstrate operational resilience, suitable vehicle availability and the ability to maintain regular service across the school period, rather than relying on occasional or general transport work.
