UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport for a pupil with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), under the Client Transport Services 2026–2034 programme. The requirement covers one student travelling from West Molesey to Burstow Park School in Redhill, Surrey, with one passenger assistant to support behaviour during the journey. The service is categorised as transport services (CPV 60000000). Delivery requires a medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle with seven passenger seats. This is a single-route requirement for a school journey, rather than a general transport or fleet-wide service. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority, and the school destination is in Redhill, postcode area RH1 5HS.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and awarded to ROAD LINK GATWICK LIMITED. The awarded contract value is £98,858.57 gross, in GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. It covers one completed lot and the award is active. The procurement falls under the light-touch regime. The available outcome data identifies the limited-competition route and the selected supplier; it does not set out a separate scored evaluation breakdown. The award and contract relate to the single SEND transport service described above, with no combined value across multiple lots or suppliers.

This requirement shows a defined market for contracted SEND school transport in Surrey: a single pupil, a regular school journey, a seven-seat MPV and a passenger assistant able to support behaviour. Competitors would need dependable passenger transport operations, an appropriately sized vehicle and the staffing capacity to provide a dedicated escort or passenger assistant alongside the driver. Experience transporting children or young people with additional needs would make a supplier credible, particularly where behaviour support is part of the journey. The buyer used a below-threshold limited competition, so suppliers targeting similar Surrey County Council work should be able to respond through a focused, proportionate procurement route and demonstrate reliable route delivery, safeguarding-aware practice and continuity of service for a school-term transport arrangement.
