## Summary

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs (SEND) pupils attending Unified Academy in Dorking. The requirement covers transport from Tadworth for three pupils, using a saloon car and without a personal assistant. This is a specific passenger transport service rather than a general school transport contract, with the journey requirement centred on the Tadworth-to-Dorking route. The procurement is classified as transport services, under CPV 60000000. It would suit operators providing planned journeys for a small number of SEND pupils and able to provide an appropriate saloon vehicle for the stated route. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority, and the service is for its client transport provision.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to IBEX CARS. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition, under the light-touch regime. One lot covered the transport requirement. The award was made on 23 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029 and is valued at £79,800 gross. The awarded supplier is IBEX CARS of Horsham. The published outcome records the award as active and the contract as active. The stated requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process, with no separate award criteria or weighting published in the procurement record. The contract therefore represents a completed, single-supplier award for this defined transport service.

This award is useful market evidence for passenger transport operators serving Surrey’s SEND requirements. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide reliable client transport for three pupils, operate a saloon vehicle, and cover the journey from Tadworth to Unified Academy in Dorking without a personal assistant. The small passenger load and defined route point towards an operator able to deliver consistent, carefully scheduled journeys rather than a large fleet solution. IBEX CARS’ selection also shows that Surrey County Council has used a below-threshold limited competition for this type of service, so suppliers should be able to respond through a focused competitive process and present a clear, practical offer for a specific SEND route.
