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 associated with Peer Productions. The requirement covered one pupil, with no personal assistant, transported in one saloon car. The journey is between Caterham and Guildford, so the work concerns scheduled passenger transport connecting those locations. The procurement is for services rather than vehicles or infrastructure. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer responsible for the requirement. The stated scope is a dedicated, small-scale transport arrangement for a single pupil, making it most relevant to passenger transport operators, private hire or taxi businesses, and other providers able to deliver individual assisted or specialist journeys using a saloon car.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. The contract was awarded to Horley Cars Limited on 28 August 2026 and signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £16,983 gross, including any applicable taxes, in GBP. The award covers the transport service for the single pupil between Caterham and Guildford. The published process identifies the procurement as a light-touch service procedure. The award is active and the contract is active. No separate award or contract values are stated for other lots, as this process contains only the one requirement.

For a supplier that did not win, this award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for a focused SEND passenger transport service: one pupil, one saloon car and a defined Caterham-to-Guildford journey. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate passenger transport services at this small scale and provide a suitable saloon car for the specified route. The awarded supplier, Horley Cars Limited, is an SME, indicating that the requirement was accessible to a small transport business rather than limited to a large fleet operator. Businesses with comparable local coverage and the ability to manage dedicated pupil journeys should monitor this buyer’s transport needs.
