UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities travelling to Philip Southcote school. The requirement covers one school route carrying seven pupils in a large multi-purpose vehicle with eight seats. One pupil travels only on Monday mornings and afternoons, affecting the route mileage. The service is passenger transport rather than vehicle supply, and does not require specialist equipment. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The operational destination is Philip Southcote school; the procurement description identifies the route but does not provide a wider delivery locality. This requirement is focused on reliable school transport for a small pupil group, with a vehicle and operating model suited to scheduled education journeys.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Sprint transfers Ltd. The award was made on 3 August 2026, with an active contract signed the same day. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is worth £3,758,143 gross. The award covers transport services, classified under CPV 60000000. The selected supplier is Sprint transfers Ltd. The published requirement describes the vehicle capacity, pupil numbers and route pattern that informed the award. The procurement was evaluated through the stated limited competition route; the available outcome records do not set out separate award-weighting details.

This award shows demand from Surrey County Council for substantial, recurring SEND school transport delivered through a defined route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need dependable access to a large eight-seat MPV, sufficient operational capacity for seven pupils, and the ability to manage a scheduled school journey consistently. Providers should also be able to accommodate route mileage affected by a pupil travelling only on Monday mornings and afternoons. Relevant experience is running pupil transport services for education settings and coordinating repeat journeys around school timetables. The requirement does not depend on specialist equipment, so the commercial focus is on vehicle availability, route reliability, passenger transport operations and the practical management of SEND school travel.
