UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils under the Client Transport Services 2026–2034 programme. The requirement covered transport for two pupils attending St Matthew’s CE Primary School in Redhill. One pupil was located in Horley and one in Reigate, with journeys to the school in Redhill, postcode RH1 1JF. The service required one saloon car with four passenger seats and no passenger assistant. This is a local passenger transport requirement for a school setting, suited to operators able to provide reliable, appropriately sized vehicles and manage regular journeys between these Surrey locations. The council is the buying organisation.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 4 August 2026 to Swyft Executive Ltd. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. There was one completed lot. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £6,450,880 gross, in pounds sterling. The award is active and the contract is active. The selected supplier is Swyft Executive Ltd of Redhill. The published requirement identifies transport services for the two pupils and one saloon vehicle; the procurement record does not set out an award scoring basis. This outcome indicates a completed local authority purchase rather than an available opportunity.

This procurement demonstrates substantial, sustained demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport, delivered through a limited competition rather than an open tender. A credible future competitor would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles, including saloon cars, and provide dependable scheduled journeys for pupils travelling between Horley, Reigate and Redhill. The requirement is small in passenger numbers but demands reliable day-to-day service, route planning and operational coordination with a school and the council. Suppliers with established local coverage across Surrey, the capacity to commit an appropriately sized vehicle and experience of safe, consistent school or assisted passenger transport would be well placed when this buyer next assesses a comparable requirement.
