UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) placement at The Green Room School, SL4 5BU. The requirement is weekday transport, Monday to Friday, using a saloon car for one pupil travelling from Knaphill, Woking. The service is a dedicated, route-specific passenger transport operation rather than general school transport provision. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, and delivery centres on the journey between Knaphill and the school. The relevant service category is passenger transport services (CPV 60000000). The requirement sits within the council’s wider client transport programme for SEND pupils, with this procurement covering the specified school journey.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council awarded the single lot to Brookwood Cars and Taxis on 4 September 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active. Its value is £54,450 gross, and the contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The service is scheduled to start on Monday 7 September 2026. This was a light-touch services procurement, using a limited rather than open procedure. The award covers the complete requirement for the specified transport route and one pupil; no separate awards or suppliers are recorded for this lot.

This award shows that Surrey County Council uses a limited-competition route for focused SEND passenger transport requirements below the relevant threshold. A credible competing supplier would need to provide a saloon car and have the operational capacity to deliver a regular Monday-to-Friday journey for a single pupil on a defined route from Knaphill, Woking, to a school in the SL4 5BU area. The awarded supplier is a local cars and taxis business, indicating that established private-hire or taxi operators with suitable vehicles and dependable route-level capacity can be relevant to this type of council requirement. Businesses tracking Surrey’s client transport work should assess their ability to deliver consistent, dedicated school journeys rather than broad fleet or network services.
