UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision at Cricket Green School in Mitcham. The requirement was for one pupil travelling from Worcester Park, Surrey, to the school in Mitcham. It called for one saloon car and no passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement, suited to operators able to provide planned school journeys for a child with SEND. The named buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The service covers the journey between the pupil’s stated home location in Worcester Park and Cricket Green School, Mitcham, within the wider Surrey and south-west London area.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one requirement, and the contract was signed on 28 August 2026. Surrey County Council awarded it to A1 and Eden Cars, an SME. The contract value is £21,169.29 gross, in pounds sterling. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement used the light-touch regime and a limited procurement method. The service was classified under CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and the single transport requirement; no separate award weighting or scoring basis is set out.

This outcome indicates demand for a small, dedicated SEND school transport service involving a single pupil and a saloon vehicle, with no passenger assistant requirement. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this kind would be established taxi, private-hire or specialist school transport operators able to provide reliable, pre-planned journeys between Worcester Park and Mitcham. Credibility would depend on having an appropriate saloon car, dependable driver availability, strong safeguarding and passenger-care arrangements, and the operational capacity to maintain the route throughout the school service period. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that this scale of council transport requirement can suit smaller local operators as well as larger fleet businesses. Familiarity with council compliance and SEND travel arrangements would also be relevant.
