UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for one pupil attending Clifton Hill School under its special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport requirement. The service involves providing one small MPV vehicle and one passenger assistant to support behaviour during journeys. The pupil lives in the SM7 postcode area, and the transport is therefore linked to travel between that area and Clifton Hill School. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or general fleet contract. Businesses relevant to this requirement include operators able to provide suitable small vehicles and trained passenger-support staff for individual SEND school journeys. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority based in Reigate.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot for client transport services. The contract was awarded to ROAD LINK GATWICK LIMITED on 11 August 2026 for £127,680 including tax. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The awarded contract is active. The procurement used the light-touch regime and was classified as a transport service. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the published data does not provide further award criteria. The outcome is a single supplier award covering the transport service for the one pupil, the small MPV and the passenger assistant requirement.

This procurement demonstrates a specific, recurring requirement from Surrey County Council for individual SEND school transport rather than a high-volume scheduled bus service. A credible future competitor would need to provide a small MPV reliably for a single pupil, with a passenger assistant able to support behaviour throughout the journey. Relevant operational strengths include dependable school-run coordination, safeguarding arrangements, staff suitable for work with children with additional needs, and the capacity to maintain consistent daily transport for a fixed route between the SM7 area and Clifton Hill School. Operators already delivering specialist education transport, or able to combine vehicle provision with appropriately trained passenger-support staff, are the closest fit for this buyer’s requirement.
