Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, under the 2026–2034 SEND transport programme. This requirement covered transport for two pupils attending Woodview School, with no passenger assistant required. The service was for one saloon car, operating between Hurst Green and Orpington. The procurement falls within passenger transport services. It is relevant to operators that provide contracted school or passenger transport using saloon cars and can serve the specified route. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority responsible for arranging transport for eligible pupils. The requirement is a single, defined transport service rather than a broad fleet, network or passenger transport operation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. A25 Cars Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its awarded value is £27,189.29 gross, in GBP. The award date is 3 September 2026. The tender was treated as a light-touch services procurement and comprised one completed requirement. The contract covers the transport service for two pupils, using one saloon car, with no passenger assistant. This is an awarded outcome, not an opportunity to submit a tender. The award and contract remain active for the stated service period.

For competing operators, this award demonstrates a defined local requirement for SEND pupil transport using a saloon car, serving a route between Hurst Green and Orpington for two pupils. A credible future supplier would need to organise reliable passenger transport for school-age passengers, provide a suitable saloon car and maintain capacity for the service throughout the required school transport period. The route-specific nature of the work favours operators able to cover both locations consistently rather than providers offering only general or occasional transport. Experience delivering contracted school, client or SEND transport would help demonstrate relevance, while the limited scale makes this more suited to a focused passenger transport operator than a large fleet requirement.
