UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council is buying client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) journey to The Therapy Gardens in Guildford. The requirement concerns one pupil travelling from Farnham, with no passenger assistant, using one saloon car on Wednesdays. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or infrastructure contract. The service is associated with Surrey County Council’s local authority responsibilities and involves carrying a child to a named therapeutic destination. Businesses relevant to this requirement are operators able to provide reliable, suitable individual pupil transport using a saloon vehicle, with the operational arrangements needed for a regular journey between Farnham and Guildford. The procurement category is transport services, CPV 60000000.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to MPCars, which was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and has a gross value of £4,136. It runs from 2 September 2026 to 28 July 2027. The contract is active. The available record identifies the procurement as a limited competition but does not set out an evaluation weighting or selection criteria. The award covers the single SEND transport requirement for one pupil, one saloon vehicle, no passenger assistant and one service day each week. No cancellation or termination is reported.

This award gives local passenger transport operators a clear example of Surrey County Council’s SEND travel requirement: individual transport for one pupil, using a saloon car, on a fixed weekly day and between named Surrey locations. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need dependable vehicle availability, the capacity to maintain a regular school-period service, and suitable arrangements for transporting a child without a passenger assistant. Operators should also be able to manage precise pick-up and destination instructions, communicate reliably with the council, and deliver consistent service over the full operating period. The opportunity is relevant to firms specialising in school, education or accessible passenger transport rather than general fleet supply.
