UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement serves Sunnydown School in Caterham, transporting three pupils from Godstone, Redhill and Caterham. The specified vehicle is a saloon car, and a passenger assistant is not required. This is a local school transport service rather than a general public transport operation, with journeys centred on the named Surrey communities and the school in Caterham. The procurement falls within transport services, covering the provision and operation of suitable pupil transport for the stated route and passenger group. It is therefore relevant to operators able to provide reliable, safeguarding-conscious school journeys using an appropriate saloon vehicle.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. ROAD LINK GATWICK LIMITED was selected for the requirement. The award was made on 24 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £2,616,429 including gross value, in GBP. The process used a limited procurement method under the light-touch regime and comprised one requirement covering the Sunnydown School transport service. The published outcome records the award as active and the contract as active, so this is an awarded opportunity rather than a current invitation to submit bids.

This award shows a substantial requirement for dedicated SEND school transport serving a defined group of pupils and several Surrey communities. Competitors seeking similar work from Surrey County Council would need to demonstrate dependable passenger transport operations, the ability to maintain regular school journeys between Godstone, Redhill, Caterham and Sunnydown School, and access to suitable saloon vehicles. The requirement is suited to an operator able to manage a small passenger group carefully and consistently, with robust route planning, punctuality and service continuity. As no passenger assistant is required for this specification, the relevant operating model is a saloon-based transport service delivered by a capable driver or transport provider. Experience of school or SEND transport would strengthen credibility when this buyer next assesses comparable needs.
