UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport for a child with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) attending Lindon Bennett School’s Hamworth site. The requirement was for a saloon car transporting one pupil. It falls within transport services, covering the planned movement of the pupil between the relevant locations. The council is the buying organisation and the service is associated with its local authority responsibilities. This is a focused, individual-pupil transport requirement rather than a broad fleet, public bus or general passenger transport service. It is relevant to operators that provide dedicated school or client transport using saloon cars and can deliver a reliable, appropriately managed journey for a single SEND passenger.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and awarded on the same date to School Run Ltd. The awarded contract value is £2,069,357 gross, in GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. There was one completed requirement within the procurement. The procurement used the light-touch regime and a limited procedure, with competition restricted below the applicable threshold. The award is active and the contract is active. Surrey County Council selected School Run Ltd as the supplier for the transport services requirement for Lindon Bennett School’s Hamworth site.

This award demonstrates Surrey County Council’s demand for dedicated SEND school transport delivered by a specialist operator rather than a general public transport provider. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide a saloon car, carry a single pupil, and organise dependable client transport for the school journey. The relevant capability is therefore focused, individual passenger transport, with enough operational capacity to maintain service for the required school period. School Run Ltd is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by an SME. Transport businesses serving Surrey and nearby areas can use this procurement as a clear example of the council’s purchasing route and service need.
