UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers travel from Aldershot to the Merrist Wood Woodlands Centre in Guildford, serving two students. The service includes a passenger assistant and must accommodate one student travelling in a wheelchair. The passenger assistant is required to be trained in first aid and epilepsy awareness, without emergency medication, and to follow the 999 emergency protocol. This is a local transport service rather than a general vehicle supply contract: relevant businesses are operators able to provide assisted, accessible journeys and appropriately trained staff for a small number of SEND passengers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Green line cars was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026, starts on 7 September 2026 and ends on 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £45,546.43. The award covers one requirement for transport services and the contract is active. The available procurement record identifies the route, passenger-support arrangements and accessibility requirement, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or award weighting. Businesses reviewing this outcome should therefore treat it as evidence of Surrey County Council’s purchasing route for a defined SEND transport service, awarded through a limited competition rather than an open procedure.

This requirement is commercially relevant to small passenger transport operators, private hire and community transport providers with suitable accessible vehicles and experience supporting children or young people with SEND. A credible competitor would need to operate reliably between Aldershot and Guildford, carry two students, provide wheelchair access and supply a passenger assistant trained in first aid and epilepsy awareness. Staff would need to understand the 999 protocol and manage journeys where emergency medication is not carried. The award demonstrates demand for a tightly specified, assisted school or education journey rather than high-volume public transport. Providers able to combine safeguarding-aware passenger support, accessible vehicle capacity and dependable scheduled transport would be well placed when this buyer next reviews the same requirement.
