UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned specialist client transport services for Fox Grove school, supporting two pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement includes one passenger assistant and a small multi-purpose vehicle with five to six passenger seats. The pupils live in the RH5 postcode area, so the service is connected to journeys in and around that part of Surrey, with the council as the public-sector buyer. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or general fleet contract. The requirement is suited to operators able to provide safe, reliable school transport for children with additional needs, with an appropriately sized vehicle and passenger-assistant support. The procurement is categorised as transport services, covering the delivery of the specified school journeys for Fox Grove school.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Parkers of Reigate Ltd. The award date was 11 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £159,204.80 gross. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The contract is active, while the tender is complete. The selected supplier will provide the Fox Grove school transport service for two pupils, with one passenger assistant and a small five-to-six-seat MPV. The process used a light-touch regime and limited competition, indicating a focused route for a relatively specific passenger transport requirement rather than an open, multi-lot service framework.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Surrey County Council for recurring SEND school transport, combining a small vehicle, passenger-assistant provision and dependable daily service for a small number of pupils. Competitors would need practical experience transporting children with special educational needs and disabilities, robust safeguarding and passenger-care arrangements, and the ability to provide a suitable five-to-six-seat MPV. Local knowledge of the RH5 area and reliable operating capacity would support credible delivery, particularly where journeys must be consistent throughout the school term. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator. Businesses monitoring Surrey’s future client transport needs should assess their ability to meet focused, below-threshold competitions for school passenger services.
