UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialised passenger transport services for Limpsfield Grange School in Surrey. The requirement covers transport for five pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using a medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle with seven passenger seats. No personal assistant is required as part of the specified arrangement. The pupils live in the RH5, RH3, RH2 and RH1 postcode areas, so the service involves journeys connecting these areas with the school. This is a transport services requirement, covering the safe and reliable movement of school pupils rather than general public transport or vehicle supply. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Parkers of Reigate Ltd following a below-threshold limited competition. It used a limited procedure under the light-touch regime. The single requirement was awarded as one lot, with an award date of 13 August 2026. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £117,040 gross. Surrey County Council records the award as active and the contract as active. The selected supplier is Parkers of Reigate Ltd. The contracting process was specifically for the Limpsfield Grange School SEND transport service described above.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport delivered by a local passenger transport operator. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need a suitable medium-sized MPV with seven passenger seats, the operational capacity to transport five pupils, and the ability to provide dependable journeys between Limpsfield Grange School and the RH5, RH3, RH2 and RH1 postcode areas. The requirement does not include a personal assistant, so the relevant capability is focused on vehicle provision, qualified and reliable driving, route planning, punctual school transport and safe service delivery for children with SEND. Parkers of Reigate Ltd is recorded as an SME, indicating that this scale of school transport can suit an appropriately equipped smaller operator.
