UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service transports four students from Caterham, Whyteleafe and Kenley to Aspire Learning in Croydon. The requirement includes a medium multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) and a passenger assistant for Harmony. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract: the successful provider is responsible for carrying the specified students on the stated journey and providing the accompanying passenger-assistance provision. The work is delivered across Surrey and Croydon, linking the named Surrey locations with the education setting in Croydon. The procurement is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One supplier was selected: ROAD LINK GATWICK LIMITED. The award was made on 24 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with an awarded value of £4,376,571 gross, including the stated contract value in GBP. The requirement was organised as a single lot. The available outcome data identifies the limited-competition route and the completed status, while the award record does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis. The contract remains active following award.

This opportunity shows a substantial requirement for managed SEND passenger transport supporting a school journey between Surrey communities and Croydon. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have experience transporting children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities, reliable safeguarding-led operating procedures, and appropriately trained passenger assistants. They would need the operational capacity to carry four students in a medium MPV, provide the required passenger-assistance support for Harmony, and deliver consistent scheduled journeys from Caterham, Whyteleafe and Kenley to Aspire Learning. Credibility for this buyer would also depend on dependable route planning, safe vehicle operations, contingency arrangements for service disruption, and the ability to coordinate with families, the education setting and the council while maintaining continuity of care.
