UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision at Fox Grove School. The requirement covers one pupil living in the TW19 postcode area, with one passenger assistant and a large multi-purpose vehicle with seven to eight passenger seats. This is a local pupil transport service rather than general bus, coach or freight provision. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority based in Reigate. The work is associated with transporting the pupil to and from Fox Grove School, requiring a suitable vehicle and passenger support for the individual journey. The relevant service classification is transport services, excluding waste transport.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to 24x7 Surrey, an SME. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 11 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross and net value is £178,098.40. One requirement was awarded to the selected supplier, covering the Fox Grove School SEND transport service. The contract is active. The process used a limited procedure rather than an open competition, and the published procurement title covers client transport services for the period 2026 to 2034, although this awarded contract has the shorter stated delivery period.

This procurement shows demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND pupil transport combining a suitable large MPV with a passenger assistant. Suppliers seeking to compete for a future requirement of this type would need to provide a reliable seven- to eight-seat vehicle, safe and appropriate transport for a child with additional needs, and a suitably trained passenger assistant. Operational capability should include dependable scheduled journeys to and from Fox Grove School for a pupil in the TW19 area, with the capacity to maintain consistent service over a multi-year contract. The award to an SME indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator with appropriate vehicles, staff, safeguarding arrangements and experience in assisted school transport.
