UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel to Thames Ditton Junior School. The requirement covers one student travelling from Cobham to the school in Thames Ditton, using a saloon car with four passenger seats and no passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service rather than a general school transport arrangement, with the journey linking the KT11 and KT7 0BS areas. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The relevant service category is transport services, excluding waste transport. The requirement was structured as a single service lot for this individual school journey.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Swan school services ltd was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026, with a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £6,080,000 gross. The tender used the light-touch regime and a limited procurement method. The award is recorded as active and the contract is active. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and the awarded service, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or detailed award criteria. The arrangement concerns one student, one saloon vehicle and no passenger assistant.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport serving a single pupil and a defined home-to-school route. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would be able to provide a suitable saloon car with four passenger seats, deliver reliable journeys between Cobham and Thames Ditton, and manage school transport for a child with additional needs. The award to Swan school services ltd, identified as an SME, indicates that a smaller specialist operator can satisfy this type of council requirement. Credibility would come from dependable vehicle availability, consistent safeguarding and passenger-care arrangements, competent drivers, and the operational capacity to maintain the service throughout the school term and contract period.
