UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured transport services for one child with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), travelling between Woking and Roehampton Gate School in London. The requirement covered one route, Q121Q/26, for a single student, with no passenger assistant required. A saloon car was required for a journey of 46.75 miles. This is a direct, individual student transport service rather than a general school transport operation or a multi-passenger bus service. The work involves collecting the student in Woking and transporting them to the school in London. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The relevant category is passenger transport services, classified under CPV 60000000.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to MM CARS. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 1 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 24 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £26,569.21 including tax. The requirement was arranged as one lot, covering the single SEND transport route. The published outcome records the selected supplier and contract terms, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or named award criteria. The contract is below the applicable threshold and relates to a defined individual journey rather than a wider transport framework.

This procurement indicates demand from Surrey County Council for reliable, individual SEND school transport using a saloon car. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this type would need suitable passenger transport provision, the capacity to cover a long cross-boundary journey between Surrey and London, and dependable daily operations for a single named student. Experience of school or SEND transport would help demonstrate an understanding of safeguarding, punctuality, communication with the council and the needs of children travelling to education. Operators should also be able to manage journeys without a passenger assistant where appropriate, maintain an appropriate vehicle, and deliver a consistent service over the school-term period. The limited-competition route shows that relevant local transport operators may be considered for similar below-threshold requirements.
