Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement covers a route between West Molesey and Knowl Hill School in Pirbright, Surrey, for two students, with a third student joining during the service. The vehicle requirement is a medium-sized MPV, with a passenger assistant travelling on the route. The additional student has asthma and food allergies, making dependable passenger support and appropriate care arrangements part of the operational requirement. The service is a local, school-related passenger transport operation rather than general public transport. The work is delivered in Surrey, with the route linking West Molesey to the school in Pirbright.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Surrey County Council awarded the single lot to Sprint transfers Ltd on 22 July 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active. Its value is £10,305,643 including gross value, in GBP. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender title was Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND, and the service category is transport services. The award covers the route for the two initial students and the additional student joining during delivery. The tender itself is recorded as complete, with the award linked to the completed lot.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for managed SEND school transport delivered on a defined local route. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this kind would have access to a suitable medium-sized MPV, reliable route planning and daily school transport capacity, together with a passenger assistant able to support children throughout the journey. Credible operators would also need practical procedures for accommodating passengers with medical needs such as asthma and food allergies, while maintaining consistent service as passenger numbers change. The successful supplier is an SME transport operator, indicating that this type of work can suit a focused local business rather than only a large national fleet provider. Experience in dependable passenger transport and school-route operations would be directly relevant.
