UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covered transport for five students attending Carrington School in Redhill. Four students were located in Horley and one in Sidlow, with journeys to the school in Redhill. The service required one medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle with seven passenger seats and no passenger assistant. This is a local passenger transport and school transport requirement, classified under CPV 60000000 for transport services excluding waste transport. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, and the service is centred on scheduled journeys between Horley, Sidlow and Redhill in Surrey.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Falcon Transport Ltd following a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 4 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with a total value of £8,664,000 including applicable taxes. One completed lot covered the student transport requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The procedure used was a limited procurement under the light-touch regime. The recorded procurement information identifies the transport service and vehicle requirement; the award was made to Falcon Transport Ltd for the full stated lot.

This requirement demonstrates substantial, sustained demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport between named local communities and a school destination. A credible future supplier would need to operate reliable scheduled passenger transport, provide a suitable medium-sized vehicle with seven passenger seats, and plan safe daily journeys for five pupils without a passenger assistant. Local knowledge of Horley, Sidlow and Redhill would support practical routing and dependable collection and drop-off arrangements. Relevant businesses are established school, community or passenger transport operators with suitable vehicles, competent drivers, robust safeguarding and operational contingency arrangements. Experience transporting children or passengers with additional needs would strengthen their position when demonstrating service quality and reliability to this buyer.
