UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport for three pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), travelling to and from Furzefield Primary School in Redhill. The service covers two pupils located in Redhill RH1 and one in Redhill RH2, with the school also in Redhill RH1. The requirement was for one saloon car with four passenger seats and did not require a personal assistant. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The work is local to Redhill and involves transporting a small number of pupils on a defined school journey. It is a single requirement for Surrey County Council, rather than a wider transport framework or a multi-location service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to EAGLE EXPRESS through a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and awarded on the same date. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £5,168,000 gross. The award covers one completed lot for the transport service. The procurement used a light-touch regime and limited competition; the available outcome records show EAGLE EXPRESS as the selected supplier. The contract is active. The published requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route, with the service scope centred on providing the specified vehicle and school transport for the three SEND pupils.

This procurement indicates sustained demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport in Redhill. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable passenger transport for children with additional needs, operate a suitable saloon vehicle with sufficient seating, and manage regular journeys between pupils’ homes and Furzefield Primary School. Local knowledge of Redhill, including the RH1 and RH2 areas, would be relevant to efficient and dependable delivery. Suppliers should also be able to plan consistent school-run operations for a small passenger group and meet the council’s requirements for safe, dependable transport. The award shows that this buyer uses a below-threshold limited competition route for defined local transport requirements, making relevant operational capability and a clear response to the precise journey specification important.
