UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport for a child or young person travelling into Guildford College’s Supported Learning Unit. The service covers one passenger travelling alone, with passenger support, between Egham and Guildford. The vehicle requirement is a medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle suitable for a harness. Journeys are required four days each week, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. This is a local passenger transport service within Surrey, focused on supporting access to further education for a passenger with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). It may suit school and college transport operators, private hire and taxi businesses, community transport providers, or other passenger transport firms with appropriate vehicles and safeguarding arrangements for supported SEND journeys.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected uk car service as the supplier for the single lot. The award was made on 1 September 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £39,492.57 gross, including any applicable taxes, and the procurement is below the relevant threshold. The contract is active. The requirement was handled under the light-touch regime. The award covers the transport service for one passenger travelling to Guildford College’s Supported Learning Unit, using a medium MPV suitable for a harness.

This award demonstrates Surrey County Council’s demand for planned, supported SEND passenger transport linked to education. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a medium MPV that can safely accommodate a harness, together with reliable capacity for a solo passenger journey between Egham and Guildford. The service pattern calls for dependable weekday operations across four consecutive days, so providers would need robust driver availability, contingency arrangements and consistent punctuality. Relevant businesses include small private hire operators, taxi firms and community transport providers able to deliver regular education journeys rather than occasional trips. Operators should also be able to demonstrate suitable safeguarding, passenger-assistance procedures and the practical ability to support a passenger travelling into a college’s specialist learning environment.
