UK7 - Contract Details Notice
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 the Dorking area and Philpots Manor School in East Grinstead. It is a passenger transport service using one saloon car with four passenger seats, with no personal assistant required. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, and the service links the student’s home location in Dorking with the school location in East Grinstead. This is a focused, individual- passenger education transport requirement rather than a general bus, coach or large-scale fleet service. The relevant service category is transport services, excluding waste transport.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It comprised one lot. Parkers of Reigate Ltd was awarded the contract on 4 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and has a gross value of £10,488,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award covers the full SEND school transport requirement for the single student and vehicle arrangement described. The procurement used a limited procedure, with competition restricted rather than an open tender. The award is active and the contract is active; the tender itself is complete.

This requirement is most relevant to established local passenger transport operators able to provide reliable, safeguarding-conscious school journeys for children with SEND. A credible competitor would need an appropriate saloon vehicle, capacity for a single passenger, and the operational ability to provide regular journeys between Dorking and East Grinstead. The work suits a small operator as well as a larger transport business with suitable local resources, provided it can deliver consistent school-time service and manage the practical requirements of individual-student transport. The award demonstrates a substantial, defined requirement from Surrey County Council for dedicated education transport rather than general public transport, so relevant experience in school, community or assisted passenger services would be commercially useful.
