UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for Fox Grove School under a special light-touch regime. The requirement is for transport for three pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), accompanied by one passenger assistant. Delivery involves journeys from postcode areas KT15 and KT16 to the school. The service requires a large multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) with eight passenger seats. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract: the successful provider is responsible for delivering the pupil journeys and accommodating the passenger assistant. The procurement is relevant to operators providing specialist or school transport, particularly those with suitable accessible, reliable vehicles and experience supporting children with additional needs.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to 24x7 Surrey. The award was made and the contract signed on 11 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with an awarded value of £171,471.20 gross. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. The award covers transport services for the Fox Grove School requirement and is recorded as an active contract. The selected supplier is identified as an SME. The published information does not state a separate scoring breakdown or award weighting, so the available outcome is the completed limited competition and the resulting award to 24x7 Surrey.

This award shows established demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport serving Fox Grove School. A credible future competitor would need to provide a large eight-seat MPV, operate reliably around the KT15 and KT16 areas, and carry three pupils alongside one passenger assistant. The work is suited to a small or specialist transport operator able to manage scheduled education journeys and the practical needs of children with special educational needs and disabilities. Relevant strengths include dependable vehicle availability, appropriate safeguarding and passenger-care procedures, trained drivers, and the operational capacity to maintain consistent school transport throughout the service period. Experience delivering local authority, school, community or other assisted passenger transport would help demonstrate suitability for this buyer’s requirement.
