UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for Oakwood School in Horley, supporting two pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement covers transport for students travelling from Bletchingley and Redhill to the school in Horley. The service is categorised as passenger transport services (CPV 60000000). The specified vehicle is one saloon car with four passenger seats, and the journey does not require a personal assistant. This is a single transport requirement for Surrey County Council, with delivery centred on the named Surrey locations and the school route to Horley. The procurement is therefore relevant to passenger transport operators able to provide dedicated school journeys for SEND pupils using an appropriately sized car.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected Sprint Transfers Ltd, an SME. The award was made on 10 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with an awarded value of £63,840 gross. The procurement used the light-touch regime and comprised one completed lot. The award covers the full stated transport requirement: two students, one four-passenger-seat saloon and no personal assistant. The published outcome identifies transport services as the procurement category. It does not set out a separate scoring breakdown, so the available evaluation detail is the limited-competition route and the resulting award.

This requirement indicates a focused market for small-scale, dedicated SEND school transport rather than a large fleet operation. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this type would be passenger transport businesses able to provide a suitable saloon car, accommodate two pupils, and deliver consistent journeys between Bletchingley, Redhill and Oakwood School in Horley. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that the scale can suit smaller operators rather than only national transport companies. Credibility would come from dependable vehicle availability, practical knowledge of the local journey pattern and the ability to manage regular school travel for SEND pupils. Operators targeting Surrey County Council should also be prepared to compete through a below-threshold limited-competition process.
