UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) journey involving Fox Grove school. The requirement covers transport for one pupil and one personal assistant, using a small MPV with five to six passenger seats. The pupil lives in the RH2 postcode area, so the service is connected with the Reigate area and the surrounding locality covered by that postcode. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The awarded service relates to a single transport requirement, with the journey arrangements designed around the pupil, accompanying personal assistant and specified vehicle capacity.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. ROAD LINK GATWICK LIMITED was selected for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and has a value of £135,280 including gross value, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award covers transport services for the SEND requirement associated with Fox Grove school. The process used a limited procedure under the light-touch regime. The available outcome records the selected supplier and an active contract; no separate award criteria or weighted evaluation basis is stated in the procurement information.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport tailored to an individual school placement and pupil journey. Suppliers best placed for comparable work would be able to operate a small MPV with five to six passenger seats and accommodate one pupil together with a personal assistant. Relevant businesses include passenger transport operators with suitable vehicles, drivers and the operational capacity to provide a consistent school-related service in the Reigate and Surrey area. The requirement is relatively focused rather than a large fleet operation, but its multi-year duration shows the value of dependable delivery over an extended school-period contract. Experience of arranging individualised education transport would help a competitor present a credible response when this type of requirement returns to market.
