UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) school placement. The requirement covers transport for one student, with no personal assistant, using a saloon car with four passenger seats. The journey is between the student’s location in Westerham and Philpots Manor school in East Grinstead. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or school operation contract. The buyer is Surrey County Council, and the service is delivered around Westerham and East Grinstead in Surrey and the surrounding area. The requirement may suit transport operators, private hire businesses and specialist passenger service providers with suitable vehicles and the operational ability to provide individual school journeys.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Swyft Executive Ltd. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime, with one completed lot. The award was recorded as active on 4 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £10,934,880 including tax. The contract covers transport services for the SEND school journey between Westerham and East Grinstead. Surrey County Council selected Swyft Executive Ltd as the supplier. The published outcome identifies the transport service and the route requirement, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or named evaluation weighting.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award provides a useful benchmark for Surrey County Council’s SEND transport requirements. A credible competitor would need to provide a reliable saloon vehicle with four passenger seats and organise a consistent journey for an individual pupil between home and school locations. The requirement indicates that a personal assistant is not needed for this service, so operators able to deliver the transport directly may be well placed. Relevant businesses include private hire and executive transport firms, school transport specialists and local passenger operators with suitable vehicle availability, safeguarding arrangements and dependable route management. Experience of working with local authorities and supporting SEND-related journeys would strengthen a future response to a comparable requirement.
