## Summary

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) journey. The requirement covers transport for one student, with no passenger assistant, using a saloon car. The journey is from Cranleigh to Merrist Wood – Woodlands Centre in Guildford, so the operating supplier needs to provide the service across these Surrey locations. The procurement falls within passenger transport services. It is a council requirement for a specific education-related journey rather than a broad transport framework or fleet-wide service. Businesses specialising in contracted passenger transport, school or education transport, and reliable individual passenger journeys would find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier was selected: MPCars. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £23,310 including tax, in a single contract for the transport requirement. The tender used a limited procurement method and was treated under the light-touch regime. The tender status is complete and the award is active. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The published outcome identifies transport services as the main category and links the award to the single requirement for the Cranleigh-to-Guildford SEND journey.

This outcome shows Surrey County Council buys tightly defined SEND transport journeys, including individual student travel without a passenger assistant. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this kind would be able to operate a saloon car reliably, provide consistent school or college journey coverage, and manage daily transport between Cranleigh and Guildford. Relevant capability includes dependable scheduling, punctual passenger collection and drop-off, safeguarding-aware operations, suitable insurance and vehicle compliance, and clear communication with the council and education setting. Operators with experience in contracted school, college or SEND transport would be credible competitors, particularly where they can demonstrate continuity, safe individual passenger handling and the capacity to serve a specific route rather than only larger group transport work.
