UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured a passenger transport service for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel. The requirement covers one pupil travelling between Godstone and Sutton in a saloon vehicle. The service is classified as transport services and is intended to provide dedicated client transport rather than a general passenger operation. Delivery is along the Godstone-to-Sutton route in Surrey. This is a single, focused transport requirement for an operator able to provide the specified vehicle and carry one SEND passenger reliably between the stated locations. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to IBEX CARS. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition, under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 10 September 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract period runs from 11 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £26,070.71 including the stated gross amount, in GBP. The award is active and the contract is active. There was one lot covering the full requirement, evaluated through the limited competition route. The selected supplier is IBEX CARS, based in Horsham.

This award provides a clear benchmark for passenger transport operators serving Surrey County Council’s SEND requirements. A credible competitor for similar work would need to provide a saloon vehicle and deliver a dedicated journey for a single pupil between Godstone and Sutton. The requirement suits an operator with practical coverage of both locations, dependable day-to-day vehicle availability and the capacity to provide consistent client transport throughout the service period. Experience delivering passenger transport is directly relevant, particularly where the service involves a specific route and an individual passenger rather than high-volume fleet operations. Businesses tracking this buyer’s requirements can use the award as evidence of demand for focused SEND transport services procured through a limited competition.
