## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for a route into Philip Southcote, serving six pupils and one personal assistant. The requirement is for a large MPV with eight seats, with no additional equipment needed. The service falls within passenger transport services. The personal assistant must be able to administer buccal midazolam and be trained in seizure management, with a care plan provided for the journey. This is a dedicated SEND transport requirement combining vehicle provision, safe passenger transport and appropriately trained passenger support. The work is associated with Surrey County Council’s transport provision and the journey to Philip Southcote; the buyer is the council.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch services regime. Hughes Mini Services Ltd was selected for the single requirement. The award was made on 13 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with an awarded gross value of £51,339.09. The contract is active and covers one completed lot. The successful arrangement is for the specified SEND route, using an eight-seat large MPV and trained personal-assistant support. The process was conducted as a limited competition rather than an open tender.

This requirement is relevant to small transport operators with access to a large eight-seat MPV and experience providing safe, reliable journeys for children with special educational needs and disabilities. A credible competitor would need to combine dependable vehicle availability with robust safeguarding, passenger-assistance procedures and the ability to provide a personal assistant trained in seizure management and buccal midazolam administration. Operators should be able to work closely with the council and follow an individual care plan for each passenger. The award demonstrates demand for a dedicated, relatively small-scale SEND route rather than general bus operations, and shows that a below-threshold limited competition is the route used for this type of council transport requirement.
