UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) client transport services for Bramley Oak Academy, serving four children travelling from Cranleigh. The requirement is a weekday transport route using a large eight-seat multi-purpose vehicle, with a passenger assistant accompanying the route. The service includes transporting one child who requires a high-backed booster seat and another who may require a booster seat. The work is local transport between Cranleigh and the academy, whose postcode is GU5 0BJ. This is a passenger transport service rather than a general vehicle hire or goods delivery requirement, and would suit operators able to provide suitable vehicles, assisted journeys and reliable school travel arrangements for children with additional needs.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to 24x7 Surrey through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded, with the service contract signed on 6 August 2026 and awarded on the same date. The contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and has a value of £4,770,386 including the published contract value in pounds sterling. The route was due to start on 4 September 2026. Surrey County Council used the light-touch regime and a limited procurement method. The selected supplier is 24x7 Surrey, an SME based in Dunmow. The award covers the full SEND client transport requirement for Bramley Oak Academy and is recorded as an active contract.

This award demonstrates substantial demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport, combining a suitable high-capacity vehicle with passenger assistance and child-specific safety equipment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience transporting children with additional needs, dependable weekday operations and the ability to provide a large eight-seat MPV consistently for a defined school route. Passenger assistants should be capable of supporting the route and responding appropriately to children’s needs. Vehicle suitability must include the ability to carry booster seats safely, including a high-backed booster seat where required. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold limited competition also indicates that suppliers should be ready to respond through focused, council-led competitive processes rather than only large open tenders.
