UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Fox Grove School’s special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision. The requirement covers transport for four pupils, with one passenger assistant to support the journey and a medium MPV with six to seven passenger seats. The pupils live in the RH2 and KT20 postcode areas, so the operational focus is transport between those areas and the school. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The buyer is Surrey County Council, with delivery centred on the needs of Fox Grove School pupils and their assisted journeys.

The procurement has been completed following a below-threshold limited competition. It was run under the light-touch regime, with one completed lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to ROAD LINK GATWICK LIMITED on 12 August 2026. The active contract was signed on that date and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £152,000 gross, including the stated contract value, and it is below the applicable threshold. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route. The service is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport, under CPV 60000000.

This outcome identifies a recurring operational requirement for a passenger transport provider able to support SEND school travel in Surrey. A credible competitor would need suitable medium MPV capacity, with six to seven passenger seats, and the ability to provide a passenger assistant alongside the driver. Experience of transporting pupils with additional needs, dependable safeguarding and journey-management arrangements, and the capacity to operate reliably around the RH2 and KT20 areas would be relevant. Suppliers should also be able to coordinate with a school and local authority, maintain consistent service for a small group of pupils, and provide both vehicle and appropriately supported passenger transport rather than a vehicle-only service.
