UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport for a child with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers one student travelling between Guildford (GU2) and Dorchester Primary School in Worcester Park (KT4). The service requires one saloon car with four passenger seats and does not require a passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a local public authority. The route links the student’s location in Guildford with the school in Worcester Park, so suppliers must be able to provide reliable transport across these Surrey locations and meet the practical requirements of a single-student school journey.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was run under the light-touch regime as one lot. Ladysafe and Sons Ltd was awarded the contract on 7 September 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract is active from 8 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £9,771.43 including VAT. The evaluation outcome selected a single supplier for the transport service. The tender title describes a wider 2026–2034 client transport services programme for SEND, but this award covers the stated route and period only. The contract is below the applicable procurement threshold.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for individually specified SEND school transport: a single-student journey requiring a suitable saloon car, four passenger seats and no passenger assistant. A credible future competitor would need dependable vehicle-based passenger transport operations, the capacity to serve the Guildford–Worcester Park route, and the ability to provide consistent school travel for a pupil with SEND. Relevant strengths would include experience organising or delivering dedicated education transport, reliable driver and vehicle availability, and operational controls that support punctual, safe journeys between home and school. The award to a small and medium-sized enterprise indicates that this requirement can be delivered by a focused local or regional transport provider rather than only a large national operator.
