UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist SEND client transport services for Woodlands School. The requirement covers transport for five pupils, with one passenger assistant on board to support harmony, using one large multi-purpose vehicle. The service connects Redhill and Leatherhead and is associated with Woodlands School. This is a passenger transport operation rather than a vehicle supply contract: the appointed provider is expected to provide the vehicle, transport service and onboard support needed for the pupils’ journeys. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority serving Surrey. The procurement falls within transport services, covering the delivery of assisted travel for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to 24x7 Surrey through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award date was 10 August 2026. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026, is active, and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its awarded value is £57,371.14 including tax. There was one lot covering the Woodlands School requirement. The published outcome identifies 24x7 Surrey as the selected supplier. The available procurement information describes the requirement and route but does not set out a scored evaluation breakdown or separate quality and price weightings. The contract is below the relevant threshold.

This award indicates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport linked to a named school and defined journey area. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate a large MPV, transport several pupils reliably, and provide a suitable passenger assistant onboard to support a calm and safe journey. Experience in school or assisted passenger transport would help demonstrate understanding of safeguarding, pupil needs, route planning and dependable daily operations. Providers should be able to coordinate journeys involving Redhill and Leatherhead and work effectively with the school and council. The appointed supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of service can be delivered by a focused local or regional transport business rather than only a large national operator.
