Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport for a child with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers transporting one student between Redhill, Surrey (RH1), and Ingfield Manor school in Billingshurst, West Sussex (RH14 9AX). The service is classified as passenger transport services and requires one saloon car with four passenger seats. No personal assistant is required. The work is therefore suited to a local or regional passenger transport operator able to provide reliable, safeguarded journeys for a school-age passenger between the specified home and school locations. The council is the public-sector buyer, and the requirement sits within its client transport service programme.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 4 August 2026 to Street Cars Redhill Ltd, an SME, for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £9,728,000 gross, including the full contract period. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement used the light-touch regime and was evaluated through the limited-competition route. The selected supplier is responsible for delivering the specified SEND school transport service for Surrey County Council.

This award demonstrates a substantial requirement for managed SEND school transport between Redhill and Billingshurst, delivered through a focused, below-threshold limited competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles, including a four-passenger-seat saloon, and provide dependable regular journeys for an individual student without a personal assistant. Local knowledge of Redhill, the surrounding Surrey area and the route to Ingfield Manor would support efficient delivery. The successful supplier profile also shows that an SME can meet this buyer’s needs. Relevant operators should be able to evidence safe, consistent school transport, reliable scheduling, appropriate passenger care and the capacity to maintain service over a multi-school-year contract.
