UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement serves Linden Bridge and involves transporting six pupils, with one personal assistant for harmony, using one large multi-purpose vehicle. The service covers journeys between Epsom and Worcester Park. This is a passenger transport operation rather than a general vehicle supply contract: the provider is responsible for delivering an organised transport service for a small group of pupils and supporting the accompanying passenger arrangements. The procurement falls within transport services (CPV 60000000). Businesses suited to this work include operators experienced in dedicated school or SEND transport, passenger assistance and reliable local routes in Surrey.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected 24x7 Surrey for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and has an awarded value of £45,839.83 gross. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender was treated as a light-touch services procurement and the resulting contract is active. The requirement was not divided into multiple competing lots. The tender description states that the contract involves TUPE, with the relevant details provided in the procurement information. The award covers the full SEND client transport service, including the specified vehicle, pupil transport and personal assistant arrangement.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for a dedicated, small-scale SEND transport service linking Epsom, Worcester Park and Linden Bridge. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need suitable passenger transport operations, a large MPV and the capacity to provide consistent journeys for six pupils. Experience in school or SEND transport, safeguarding-sensitive passenger support and working with a personal assistant arrangement would be commercially relevant. The TUPE requirement also means suppliers would need to assess and manage the transfer of affected staff, preserve service continuity and understand employment obligations. Local route knowledge, dependable vehicle availability, resilient scheduling and the operational capacity to support assisted pupil travel would strengthen a competing offer.
