UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured passenger transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) school journey. The requirement covers one student travelling from Ashford, Surrey, to Insights School in London W5. The specified vehicle is a saloon car with four passenger seats, and the journey does not require a passenger assistant. The service is part of the council’s client transport provision for school travel. Delivery involves transporting the student between the Ashford area and the school in West London. The procurement is a service requirement under the transport services category, relevant to operators providing individual or small-capacity assisted school transport.

The procurement has been completed following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to School Run Ltd, an SME. The award was made on 10 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a gross value of £31,397.14. Surrey County Council is the buyer. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process, and the selected supplier is responsible for the specified SEND school transport service. TUPE may apply, subject to the relevant TUPE documentation.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport linking Surrey and West London. Suppliers well placed for similar work would be passenger transport operators able to provide reliable school journeys for individual children, using suitable saloon vehicles with capacity for at least the stated requirement. Experience of transporting children or young people with SEND, safeguarding procedures, dependable driver cover and effective journey planning would support credibility. Operators should also be prepared to assess whether TUPE obligations affect mobilisation, staffing or any incumbent service arrangements. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that this scale and route can be delivered by a smaller specialist transport business.
