UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialised SEND client transport services for two pupils and one personal assistant. The requirement is for a saloon car transporting passengers between Shepperton and Guildford, three days a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. A personal assistant is required who understands gastrostomy feeding tubes. This is a passenger transport service supporting pupils and care-related travel, rather than a general vehicle supply contract. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a public authority based in Reigate, and the service is delivered on the Shepperton–Guildford route. The procurement falls within transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000).

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to uk car service following a below-threshold limited competition. The tender used a limited procurement method under the light-touch regime, and the contract was evaluated through that competition. The requirement was a single lot, which is complete. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £26,402.14 including tax. The award is active and was made to uk car service on 28 August 2026. The contract is below the applicable threshold. No separate award criteria or scoring basis is stated in the procurement information.

This award demonstrates a defined local need for reliable, recurring school and care transport involving SEND passengers. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to provide a suitable saloon car, safely transport two pupils and an accompanying personal assistant, and cover the Shepperton–Guildford journey on the specified three-day weekly pattern. The ability to supply a personal assistant who understands gastrostomy feeding tubes is central to the service, so providers need appropriate care awareness alongside passenger transport capability. The opportunity also shows that Surrey County Council uses a below-threshold limited competition for this type of focused requirement, making readiness to respond through that route important. Small transport businesses able to combine dependable vehicle provision with suitably capable passenger support are the closest fit.
