UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs (SEND) pupils attending St Matthew’s CE Primary School. The requirement is school transport for two students, with no passenger assistant, using one saloon car with four passenger seats. The students are located in Godstone and Bletchingley, and the school is in Redhill. The service falls within transport services, excluding waste transport. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a public authority responsible for arranging this local education transport requirement. Suppliers relevant to this work are operators able to provide reliable individual or small-group journeys for school pupils between these Surrey locations and the school site, using an appropriately sized passenger vehicle.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Sprint transfers Ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 3 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £6,004,000 gross. One completed lot covered the transport requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies Sprint transfers Ltd as the selected supplier. The available procurement details describe the limited competition route but do not set out separate scoring criteria or weightings.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from Surrey County Council for specialist school transport serving SEND pupils across local communities. A credible competitor would need to operate passenger transport services in Surrey and match a small-scale school journey requirement involving individual collection locations and a school destination. The stated vehicle need indicates that operators should be able to provide a suitable saloon car with four passenger seats, while the absence of a passenger assistant means the transport offer must align precisely with the council’s specified staffing arrangement. Relevant experience is the ability to deliver dependable pupil journeys between Godstone, Bletchingley and Redhill, manage route-level coordination, and provide a consistent service for a school transport contract of this type.
