## Summary

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils. The requirement covers a dedicated route to Maypole School, Green Street, Sunbury-on-Thames, for two pupils travelling in a saloon car. The service falls within transport services, excluding waste transport. Surrey County Council is the buyer and the work is associated with its education transport responsibilities. The practical requirement is a reliable school journey for a very small number of passengers, using an appropriate saloon vehicle and serving the stated school location. This opportunity is therefore relevant to passenger transport operators, private hire and taxi businesses, and other providers with the vehicles, safeguarding arrangements and operational capability to deliver specialist school transport in and around Sunbury-on-Thames.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Abbex Cars, a small or medium-sized enterprise trading as Blue Star Cars. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award date and contract signature date were 12 August 2026. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a gross value of £23,547.86. One lot was awarded, covering the SEND transport route to Maypole School. The published outcome records Abbex Cars as the selected supplier. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition process; the available outcome information identifies the requirement and selected provider but does not set out separate quality, price or weighting criteria.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting Surrey County Council’s specialist school transport requirements. A credible competitor would need to provide dependable passenger transport for SEND pupils, operate a suitable saloon vehicle, and manage a consistent school route for a very small passenger group. Practical strengths would include safe and punctual school journeys, robust driver and vehicle management, reliable communication with the council, and the ability to maintain service continuity throughout the school term. The award to an SME shows that this scale of requirement can suit a focused local or regional operator rather than only a large transport company. Businesses with established private hire, taxi or school transport operations serving Sunbury-on-Thames and nearby Surrey routes are likely to be best placed.
