## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Greenholm School, supporting one pupil with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement was for one passenger assistant-free journey using a saloon vehicle. The pupil lives in the GU2 postcode area, so the service is intended to operate in and around Guildford. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or general taxi requirement. The council is the buying organisation and the selected provider is based in Guildford. The procurement covers a single transport requirement for the named school and pupil, with the vehicle and passenger arrangements defined at that level.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Guildford Cars was selected as the supplier, and the award was active when the contract was signed. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026, with delivery planned from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £98,800 including applicable taxes. The contract is active and covers the complete transport requirement. The award relates to transport services, classified under CPV 60000000. The published process identifies a limited competition route, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or award weighting. The requirement was therefore decided through the stated limited-competition procedure.

This award demonstrates a recurring council requirement for dedicated SEND pupil transport on a defined school journey, using a saloon vehicle and no passenger assistant. Suppliers best placed for comparable work would be established local or regional taxi, private-hire or community transport operators able to provide reliable individual passenger journeys in the Guildford area. Credibility would come from having suitable saloon vehicles, dependable driver availability and the operational capacity to serve a single pupil consistently over a school-term service period. The procurement also shows that Surrey County Council uses below-threshold limited competitions for this type of requirement, so businesses should be able to respond efficiently to focused, route-specific competitions and demonstrate direct experience of SEND or other specialist school transport.
