UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport to Clarendon Secondary Centre, Egerton Road, Twickenham, TW2 7SL. The requirement covers a saloon car carrying one pupil to or from the school. It is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general education contract. The named buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The service is associated with Clarendon School and its secondary centre, so suppliers need to understand the practical requirements of transporting an individual pupil to a school setting in Twickenham. The relevant service classification is CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. School Run Ltd was selected as supplier, and the contract was signed on 16 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £7,068,000 gross in GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, covering one completed lot for the Clarendon School requirement. The evaluation basis is not stated in the available procurement outcome. The award is active and the contract is active. This was conducted under the light-touch regime, using a limited procurement method rather than an open competition. The requirement therefore progressed through a restricted field of invited competitors before the award was made.

This procurement demonstrates substantial, sustained demand from Surrey County Council for specialist school transport supporting a single SEND pupil, delivered by saloon car. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need reliable passenger transport operations, suitable vehicles, capacity for regular school journeys and the ability to provide consistent one-to-one service. Experience of school transport and the practical needs of children and young people with SEND would strengthen its position, although the published outcome does not set out specific qualifications, accreditations or safeguarding requirements. The award to School Run Ltd, identified as an SME, shows that the council’s limited-competition route can be accessible to smaller transport businesses with the operational capability to deliver this type of service.
