UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement covers a regular route into Philip Southcote School for five pupils and a personal assistant, using a medium-sized passenger vehicle with seven or eight seats. The vehicle must accommodate one high-back booster seat. The personal assistant is required to administer buccal midazolam and be trained in seizure management, with a care plan provided for the passenger. This is a passenger transport service delivered for the council’s supported school travel needs, with the route serving Philip Southcote School. The procurement is therefore relevant to operators providing accessible or specialist education transport, suitable vehicles and appropriately trained passenger assistants.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One contract was awarded to AMK Chauffeur Drive Limited. The award was made on 27 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £65,886.43 including tax, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded requirement is the single client transport service for the Philip Southcote School route. The published outcome records the supplier as active and the contract as active. The available procurement information does not set out a separate price-quality weighting or other evaluation formula.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for dedicated SEND school transport combining vehicle provision with passenger-care capability. A credible future competitor would need to operate a reliable seven- or eight-seat MPV, provide a high-back booster and deliver consistent transport for a small, defined passenger group. The requirement also calls for a personal assistant able to administer buccal midazolam and manage seizures, so operators would need suitably trained staff, robust safeguarding arrangements and the ability to follow an individual care plan. Experience in school transport, SEND passengers, medical needs and route-based operations would support credibility. The scale suits a specialist local or regional transport business able to coordinate drivers, passenger assistants and vehicle availability around the school journey.
