UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for one child travelling to The Academy of Hair in Woking. The service covers travel between Ashford, Surrey and the academy, using a saloon car on Tuesdays for one day each week. No personal assistant is required. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, vehicle maintenance or general school transport: the requirement is for the regular transport of a single child on a defined education journey. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a local authority. The procurement falls within transport services, covering the provision and operation of the vehicle and the associated journey service for this individual education placement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was treated as a light-touch services procurement and consisted of one lot. Abbex Cars was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross and stated value is £4,186.29 including applicable taxes, in GBP. The award covers the single child transport requirement described above. The available outcome shows a completed tender, an active award and an active contract, so this opportunity has moved beyond supplier selection and into contract delivery. No separate award decision date is provided.

This procurement indicates demand from Surrey County Council for small-scale, regular passenger transport linked to children’s education. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would be able to provide a suitable saloon car, reliable Tuesday availability and consistent journeys between Ashford and Woking. They would need the operational capacity to transport one child without a personal assistant, maintain dependable attendance throughout the school-related service period and manage a clearly defined route for an individual placement. Local or nearby private-hire and passenger transport operators with experience of scheduled child transport would be the closest fit. Credibility would come from demonstrating dependable vehicle provision, safe and appropriate passenger handling, and the ability to deliver a recurring council-funded journey without requiring a larger fleet.
