UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport for a child or young person with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement covers one passenger travelling from Cranleigh to Bramley Grange Academy in Guildford, using a saloon vehicle and a passenger assistant. The service includes passenger assistance with seizure awareness and the ability to administer emergency medication. This is a passenger transport service rather than general fleet, freight or vehicle maintenance work. Delivery is centred on the journey between Cranleigh and Guildford, with the destination at Bramley Grange Academy. Suppliers serving Surrey education transport requirements, particularly those able to provide assisted and medically aware journeys, are the relevant market.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to uk car service, a Woking-based supplier. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch services regime. The award date was 3 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2027. The awarded contract value is £4,672.14 gross, including any applicable taxes, in pounds sterling. There was one completed lot covering the passenger transport requirement. The supplier selected was uk car service. The published outcome records the award as active and the contract as active.

This requirement shows a focused local market for SEND school transport in Surrey, combining a regular saloon journey with a trained passenger assistant. A credible competitor would need suitable passenger vehicles, reliable capacity for a single scheduled route, and experience transporting children or young people who may need additional support. Passenger-facing staff should be able to recognise seizures and administer emergency medication safely, in line with the relevant care instructions and operational requirements. Local knowledge of Cranleigh, Guildford and the surrounding Surrey road network would support dependable delivery. The award to a small business indicates that this scale of specialist education transport can suit an SME with appropriate safeguarding, staffing, vehicle and service-continuity arrangements.
