## Summary

Surrey County Council procured special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) client transport services for Woodlands School. The requirement covers transport for one pupil, with no personal assistant, using one saloon car. The journey is associated with Whyteleafe and Leatherhead, so relevant providers need to understand the operating area and the practical requirements of transporting a school pupil between these locations. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The council is the public-sector buyer, and the service sits within the broader category of transport services. Businesses suited to this requirement are likely to be local or regional operators able to provide a reliable saloon-car journey for a single SEND passenger and work with the council’s arrangements for school transport.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected Ladysafe and Sons Ltd, an SME based in Epsom. The award was made on 13 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a value of £28,542.86 including any applicable tax. It covers one completed lot for the Woodlands School SEND transport requirement. The procedure was a limited competition under the light-touch regime. The published procurement title refers to client transport services for 2026–2034, but the awarded contract period recorded here is the single service period stated above.

For a competing supplier, this award demonstrates a defined Surrey County Council requirement for dedicated SEND school transport for one pupil, using a saloon car and no passenger assistant. A credible provider would need dependable access to a suitable vehicle, appropriately trained and responsible drivers, and the operational discipline to deliver consistent journeys for a child with additional needs. Local knowledge of the Whyteleafe and Leatherhead area, punctuality around school travel, safeguarding practice and clear communication with the council would be important. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of requirement can suit a focused local transport business rather than only a large fleet operator. The opportunity also provides a useful benchmark for the service model and delivery capability this buyer has accepted.
