Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport for one student with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), under the Client Transport Services 2026–2034 requirement. The service is transport by saloon car with four passenger seats and no personal assistant. The student is based in Lingfield, while the destination school is Brantridge School in Haywards Heath. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The procurement was for a single student journey between these locations, with the council as the public-sector buyer. The relevant category is transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000).

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Street Cars Redhill Ltd was selected as the supplier, with the award recorded as active. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £5,991,429 gross. The opportunity covered one lot and the award relates to that lot. The available record identifies the procurement route and service requirement; the award outcome confirms the selected supplier and contracted period. No separate award weighting or evaluation formula is stated.

This procurement shows established demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport on an individual-student route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide a suitable saloon vehicle, with four passenger seats, and reliably transport a student between Lingfield and Brantridge School in Haywards Heath. Operators should be able to manage regular education journeys over a school-year service period and demonstrate dependable local coverage across Surrey and neighbouring West Sussex locations. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that a smaller transport operator can be suitable for this type of council requirement when it can deliver the specified vehicle and route consistently.
