UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured passenger transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils travelling to Heathermount School in Ascot. The requirement covers one student travelling from Sunbury and one from Ashford, using a saloon vehicle. The service is a dedicated school transport route, with no passenger assistant required. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation, and the work connects the two stated origins with Heathermount School in Ascot. This is a small, specific transport requirement rather than a broad fleet, bus network or passenger-assistance contract. It is suited to operators able to provide reliable individual or small-group school transport using an appropriate saloon car.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Eagle Cab Ltd. The award was made on 3 September 2026, with a contract signed on the same date. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is valued at £26,160 gross. The published outcome identifies transport services as the procurement category. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process; the available award information does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The contract covers the single route serving Heathermount School, with the stated student journeys from Sunbury and Ashford.

This award indicates recurring demand from Surrey County Council for tightly defined SEND school transport routes, including journeys from named local areas to individual schools. A credible future supplier would need to operate a saloon vehicle, carry pupils safely and reliably, and plan punctual pick-up and drop-off arrangements for more than one origin. Familiarity with school transport, SEND passenger needs and council operating requirements would strengthen a provider’s position, while the absence of a passenger assistant requirement points to a straightforward driver-led service for suitable pupils. The incumbent is an SME taxi operator, showing that this scale of requirement can suit a focused local transport business rather than only a large fleet contractor.
