Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision at Fox Grove school. The requirement covers transport for one pupil living in the TW18 postcode area, using a saloon vehicle. The service falls within passenger transport services and is intended to support the pupil’s regular travel to and from school. Delivery is therefore focused on the Fox Grove school journey and the TW18 area, rather than a general council-wide transport operation. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would be operators able to provide safe, dependable individual school transport for a SEND passenger, with an appropriate saloon vehicle and the operational capability to manage the specified route and school service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. School Run Ltd was selected as the supplier, and the contract is active. The award was made and the contract signed on 11 August 2026. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross value is £96,520. The procurement used the light-touch regime and covered a single requirement for the Fox Grove school transport service. The published outcome records transport services as the procurement category. This is an awarded contract rather than an opportunity still at the tender stage, so the useful commercial information is the buyer, route-specific requirement, selected supplier, contract scale and delivery period.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for individual SEND school transport from Surrey County Council: one pupil, a saloon vehicle and a journey associated with the TW18 area and Fox Grove school. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be established school or passenger transport operators with suitable vehicles, reliable daily scheduling and the ability to provide consistent, pupil-focused service. Experience of transporting children or SEND passengers would strengthen credibility, as would robust safeguarding, driver suitability and operational contingency arrangements, although these requirements are not stated as formal selection criteria here. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused operator rather than only a large transport company. Competitors should monitor this buyer’s similar route-based transport needs and prepare evidence of dependable local delivery.
