Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) school journey involving Wickham Park School. The service covers two students travelling from Epsom, postcode area KT19, to the school in West Wickham, postcode area BR4. The requirement is for one saloon vehicle with four passenger seats and does not include a personal assistant. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a local government authority. The work concerns transport between the students’ home area in Epsom and Wickham Park School in West Wickham, requiring a provider able to operate this specific school route and meet the stated vehicle arrangement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It comprised one completed lot. Admiral Minicabs was awarded the contract on 27 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £86,640 including tax, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The active contract covers the complete requirement for transport services for the two students between Epsom and West Wickham. The award relates to the single lot and was made to Admiral Minicabs, recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for dedicated school transport for SEND pupils, delivered through a small, route-specific passenger transport requirement rather than a large fleet operation. A credible competitor would need to provide a reliable saloon car with sufficient seating for the students and operate regular journeys between Epsom and West Wickham. It would also need the operational discipline required for school travel: dependable punctuality, safe passenger handling, clear communication with the council and school, and continuity across the service period. Local knowledge of the route and the ability to manage a small dedicated contract would be relevant strengths. The awarded supplier’s SME status indicates that this type of requirement can suit a smaller transport business.
