Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for five pupils travelling from Hazlemere to More House School. The requirement is for a large multi-purpose vehicle carrying five pupils and a personal assistant. The service supports children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), with the passenger assistant required to respond to diabetes-related hypoglycaemic seizures. Emergency medication is glucose taken orally, and emergency services must be called if a seizure occurs. This is a passenger transport service delivered for Surrey County Council, involving the journey between Hazlemere and More House School. The relevant service category is transport services, excluding waste transport.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. There was one completed lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to AMK Chauffeur Drive Limited, an SME, on 27 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £65,410.71 including applicable taxes, and the procurement is below the relevant threshold. The award covers the single requirement for client transport services for SEND pupils. The published outcome identifies transport services as the procurement category; no separate scoring breakdown or additional award criteria are recorded in the procurement outcome.

This procurement demonstrates a defined local demand for dependable SEND school transport using a large MPV, with capacity for five pupils and a personal assistant. Suppliers considering similar work for Surrey County Council would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles and provide a service able to accommodate a dedicated assistant. The requirement also indicates that staff supporting the journey must be prepared to respond to a pupil with diabetes and a risk of hypoglycaemic seizure, including administering oral glucose as emergency medication and calling 999 when a seizure occurs. Relevant competitors are therefore established passenger transport providers able to combine vehicle capacity, school-route reliability and staff who can follow specific pupil care and emergency arrangements.
