UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for three students attending Step by Step School in East Grinstead. The requirement covers journeys from students’ locations in Tadworth, Hurst Green and Lingfield to the school at East Grinstead, RH19 4HP. It is a school transport service supporting pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. The stated vehicle requirement is one saloon car with four passenger seats, with no passenger assistant. The procurement is for transport services rather than vehicle supply, so relevant businesses are operators able to provide the vehicle and deliver the specified student journeys. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, serving locations in Surrey and the surrounding area.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Sprint Transfers Ltd, an SME. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime and was divided into one lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The award date and contract signing date were 3 August 2026. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The awarded contract value is £10,792,000 including gross value, in pounds sterling. The service covers the three-student requirement, the specified journeys and one four-passenger-seat saloon. The available procurement record does not state the evaluation criteria used to select the supplier.

This procurement demonstrates a substantial, multi-year requirement for dedicated school transport serving pupils with special educational needs and disabilities across Tadworth, Hurst Green, Lingfield and East Grinstead. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to operate a four-passenger-seat saloon and reliably provide journeys connecting several student pick-up locations with one school. The work suits a small or larger passenger transport operator with the capacity to maintain consistent scheduled services for multiple pupils and the operational discipline to coordinate routes across Surrey. Experience delivering school or SEND transport would help a supplier demonstrate understanding of the setting, although the published requirement does not identify specific accreditations or qualifications.
