UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured home-to-school transport for three pupils with special educational needs and disabilities attending Wickham Park School. The service covers journeys for one pupil from Horley and two from Redhill to the school in West Wickham, with return transport implied by the client transport requirement. The specified vehicle is one saloon car with four passenger seats, and no passenger assistant is required. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The requirement is focused and local: suppliers need to operate between Horley, Redhill and West Wickham, serving Surrey pupils who attend a school outside those immediate areas. The council is the buying organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and awarded to Horley Cars Limited. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029 and is worth £101,840 gross. It concerns one completed lot covering the full transport requirement. The procurement was conducted under the light-touch regime. The published outcome identifies Horley Cars Limited as the selected supplier and the award remains active. The evaluation basis is the limited competition procedure for this below-threshold service; the available outcome does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The service is for one saloon vehicle and three students, with no passenger assistant requirement.

This contract demonstrates a recurring need for tightly specified SEND school transport between named residential areas and a particular school. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this type would have reliable access to a four-passenger-seat saloon, appropriate motor insurance and licensing for paid passenger transport, and robust arrangements for scheduled school journeys. They would need to plan dependable collection and drop-off services for pupils travelling from Horley and Redhill to West Wickham, while managing punctuality, safeguarding and communication with the council and families. A small local operator can be credible where it can provide consistent driver availability, vehicle capacity and contingency cover across the school term. Experience of education, accessible or SEND-related transport would strengthen its position.
