The contract involves transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) students travelling to Ashford Park Primary School. It falls under a limited competition procurement method, designated as a "light-touch" regime due to being below the threshold. The procurement concluded with the award to 24x7 Surrey, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract was signed on 6th August 2026, and services are to commence on 1st September 2026, lasting until 31st July 2029.
