Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision at Syon Manor College. The service is for one passenger travelling from Walton-on-Thames, using a saloon car for the route. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000, rather than a general vehicle supply or fleet contract. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, with delivery centred on the journey between Walton-on-Thames and Syon Manor College. The requirement is therefore relevant to operators able to provide reliable individual passenger journeys in a saloon car and to manage transport associated with a specialist education setting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to MM CARS. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 4 September 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £23,121.24 including any stated gross value, in addition to the same published net amount. There was one completed lot and one active award, covering the transport service for the single passenger. MM CARS is the named supplier, so this procurement records an awarded outcome rather than an opportunity for further bids.

For a transport operator, this award demonstrates a defined local requirement for individual SEND travel between Walton-on-Thames and Syon Manor College. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide a saloon car and the operational capacity to carry one passenger reliably on a dedicated education journey. The contract also indicates that Surrey County Council uses a limited below-threshold competition for this kind of service, so suppliers should be prepared to respond through a focused local procurement route rather than a large multi-lot framework. Relevant businesses are passenger transport operators able to deliver this specific route and service pattern for the council.
