UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils travelling from Horley to Sunnydown School in Caterham. The requirement covers one school transport service for five students, with no passenger assistant, using a medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle. The work is passenger transport rather than vehicle supply or infrastructure, and is intended to provide the specified journey between the students’ origin and school. Businesses relevant to this requirement include operators providing scheduled home-to-school or education transport, particularly those with suitable medium MPV capacity and experience carrying school-age passengers. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority responsible for arranging this service.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Parkers of Reigate Ltd. The award was made on 24 July 2026 for £6,914,109 gross, including the contract value reported in GBP. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The requirement was treated as a light-touch services procurement and classified as transport services. The published outcome identifies Parkers of Reigate Ltd as the selected supplier. The process concerns a single requirement for the Sunnydown School journey, rather than a multi-lot programme with separately reported suppliers or values.

This outcome demonstrates substantial and sustained demand from Surrey County Council for SEND school transport delivered as a planned service. A credible future competitor would need to operate medium-sized MPVs, provide reliable transport for five students on the Horley-to-Caterham journey, and manage regular education travel to Sunnydown School. The requirement also shows that the council has used a below-threshold limited competition for this type of service, so suppliers should be able to respond through a focused competitive process rather than relying on a large national framework. Local passenger transport businesses, including SMEs with suitable vehicles and operational capacity, are the closest fit for this buyer’s recurring education transport needs.
