## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) attending Woodlands School. The requirement covers transport for three pupils between Guildford and Leatherhead, using one wheelchair-accessible minibus. It also includes one passenger assistant to support the journey and provide appropriate care. The passenger assistant must be trained in first aid, gastrostomy awareness and seizure management, although emergency medication is not required. This is a passenger transport services requirement, with the council as the buying organisation and the service focused on safe, accessible school travel for children with additional needs.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to County Cabs Limited. The award was made on 14 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £69,930 gross. The award covers the full requirement: transport services for Woodlands School, including a wheelchair-accessible minibus and passenger-assistant support for three pupils. The process therefore demonstrates a completed, single-supplier award for a defined SEND school transport route rather than a wider framework or multi-lot programme.

This award is relevant to operators providing accessible home-to-school or client transport for children and young people with additional needs. A credible competitor would need a suitable wheelchair-accessible minibus, the operational capacity to transport three pupils reliably between Guildford and Leatherhead, and staff able to provide supervised passenger assistance. Passenger-assistant capability is particularly important: the requirement points to first-aid training, gastrostomy awareness and seizure-management knowledge, without emergency medication administration. The award to a small transport company shows that the requirement can suit an SME with focused local coverage rather than only a national fleet operator. Suppliers tracking Surrey County Council should use this contract as evidence of demand for tightly specified, safeguarding-sensitive SEND transport services.
