UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) students travelling to Hopescourt School, Waterside Drive, Walton-on-Thames. The requirement covers three students travelling from Ashford to the school, with no personal assistant required. The service requires one saloon car with four passenger seats. This is a local school transport service rather than a general bus or fleet operation, with the journey linking Ashford and Walton-on-Thames in Surrey. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement category is transport services, covering the planned conveyance of the named students between their home area and school.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and awarded to School Run Ltd. The awarded contract value is £8,276,214 gross, in GBP. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. One lot was completed and one active award covers the requirement. Evaluation was conducted through the limited competition route; the published outcome identifies School Run Ltd as the selected supplier. The arrangement concerns a single defined SEND school transport service, with the stated vehicle and passenger requirements applying to the awarded work.

This requirement is relevant to passenger transport operators able to provide reliable school journeys for SEND pupils using a saloon vehicle with four passenger seats. The work demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated, small-scale student transport between Ashford and a school in Walton-on-Thames, without a personal assistant requirement. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to deliver the specified route consistently, provide a suitable passenger car, and organise journeys for three students around the school timetable. Small and medium-sized transport businesses may be well placed where they can manage individual education transport services directly and demonstrate dependable vehicle availability for a defined school route.
