UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council bought specialist transport services for its SEND provision. The requirement was to transport one pupil from Ashford to John Chilton School (Secondary) on Bengarth Road, Northolt, UB5 5LD. The journey requires a passenger assistant with medical training. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, construction or general fleet procurement. The work connects a Surrey-origin journey with a school in Northolt and is aimed at supporting the pupil’s regular education travel. Businesses relevant to this requirement include operators able to provide reliable assisted school transport and a suitably trained passenger assistant for an individual SEND passenger.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to School Run Ltd on 12 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £149,720, inclusive of gross value, in GBP. The procurement used the light-touch regime and covered one completed lot for the specified transport requirement. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. This outcome records a single supplier award for the transport service, with the contract running for the stated school transport period.

This award shows a defined requirement for one-to-one SEND school transport between Ashford and Northolt, combining a regular pupil journey with passenger assistance involving medical training. A credible competitor for similar work would need to operate passenger transport services, provide dependable coverage for a school route, and supply a passenger assistant with the required medical training. The requirement is suited to a smaller specialist operator as well as larger transport businesses able to resource an individual assisted journey. Experience of transporting children or SEND passengers would help a supplier demonstrate that it can deliver the practical service this council has purchased, including coordinating the vehicle and trained support needed for the passenger.
