UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport services for three pupils with special educational needs and disabilities attending West Hill Primary School. The service covers journeys between the school in Leatherhead and the pupils’ location in Dorking. It requires one small multi-purpose vehicle with five passenger seats and one passenger assistant. The assistant must be trained in first aid, seizure awareness and the administration of emergency medication. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract, with delivery focused on the Leatherhead–Dorking route. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, serving the county through its public authority transport requirements. The procurement is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded to Parkers of Reigate Ltd. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime, with one completed lot. The award was made on 11 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its gross and stated value is £101,150.17. The selected supplier is responsible for the SEND client transport service described in the requirement. The procurement record identifies Surrey County Council as the buyer and records the tender as complete. The available outcome information relates to a single supplier and a single transport requirement; no combined value across separate awards or lots is applicable.

This requirement demonstrates demand for reliable, safeguarding-sensitive pupil transport on a defined local route. A credible competitor would need suitable small passenger vehicles, capacity for five passenger seats, and the operational ability to provide consistent journeys between pupils’ homes and school. It would also need a passenger assistant able to support children with special educational needs and disabilities, with verified training in first aid, seizure awareness and emergency medication administration. Relevant strengths include dependable driver and escort cover, robust safeguarding procedures, contingency arrangements for vehicle or staff absence, and experience coordinating school transport around fixed education timetables. Local knowledge of Leatherhead and Dorking would support practical route planning and dependable service delivery for Surrey County Council.
