Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for a SEND journey involving one student travelling to Linden Lodge school. The service covers transport from Cobham, Surrey (KT11), to the school in London (SW19). The requirement is for one saloon car with four passenger seats and does not include a personal assistant. This is a passenger transport service for school-related travel, commissioned by Surrey County Council and delivered between Surrey and south-west London. The route is suited to operators providing individual or low-volume education transport, rather than group coach or general public transport services. The requirement sits within the wider client transport services programme for SEND pupils and demonstrates the council’s need for dedicated home-to-school journeys for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and awarded to Sprint transfers Ltd. The award is active, and the contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross value is £10,108,000. The procurement used one completed lot covering the transport requirement, under the light-touch regime. The named contract is Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND. This outcome records Surrey County Council’s selected supplier for the specified student journey; the contract period and value relate to this awarded contract and should not be treated as an available opportunity. The award concerns transport services, with the relevant classification being CPV 60000000.

This procurement is commercially relevant to transport operators with experience of dedicated SEND or school transport, especially providers able to manage a reliable one-student service rather than relying on high vehicle utilisation. A credible competitor would need a suitable saloon car, capacity for four passengers, dependable coverage between Cobham and London SW19, and the operational discipline to deliver regular education journeys over a school-term schedule. The award to Sprint transfers Ltd, identified as an SME, shows that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator rather than only a national fleet business. Suppliers preparing for comparable work from Surrey County Council should be able to demonstrate safe passenger transport, dependable driver and vehicle arrangements, and experience meeting the particular needs of SEND pupils.
