UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) journey. The requirement covers one student travelling from Staines-upon-Thames to Roehampton Gate School in London. The route uses a saloon car and does not require a passenger assistant. This is a local authority passenger transport service for a single-student school route, rather than a general school transport operation. The relevant service classification is transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The service is associated with Roehampton Gate School and the student’s journey between Surrey and London.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to WAYDONE CARS LTD, an SME, on 27 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £1,771.43 gross, including the stated amount, in GBP. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. It covers one lot for the specified SEND transport route, and the tender used a light-touch regime. The selected supplier is active on the award, while the tender and lot are complete. No separate evaluation criteria or weighting are recorded in the procurement details.

This award shows that Surrey County Council buys tightly defined SEND passenger transport for individual school routes, including cross-border journeys between Surrey and London. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this type would be able to provide a saloon vehicle and deliver reliable transport for a single student without a passenger assistant. They would need to understand the practical demands of school-route work, including the specified collection and destination locations, and operate at the small scale of a single journey requirement. The award of this route to an SME also indicates that the buyer’s below-threshold limited-competition approach can suit smaller passenger transport businesses with relevant local operating capacity.
