UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for four pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) attending West Hill Primary School. The route serves pupils travelling between Redhill and Reigate and the school in Leatherhead. It requires one medium-sized multipurpose vehicle with seven passenger seats, together with one passenger assistant to support asthma-inhaler use and seizure awareness. The procurement is for transport services, classified under CPV 60000000. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a public authority based in Reigate. The requirement is focused on safe, supported school transport rather than general passenger services, and combines vehicle provision, route operation and appropriately supported passenger journeys.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot was awarded to Sprint transfers Ltd, an SME trading as Sprint Airport Transfers. The award was made on 15 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £118,660 gross. The procedure was operated under the light-touch regime. The award covers the complete route requirement for West Hill Primary School. The tender description states that TUPE may apply to this route, so bidders would need to consider any employee-transfer obligations associated with taking over the service.

This award indicates demand for reliable, safeguarding-conscious SEND school transport from Surrey County Council, delivered on a defined Redhill and Reigate to Leatherhead route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to a suitable seven-seat or larger MPV, the operational capacity to provide consistent school journeys, and staff able to support children with additional needs. Passenger assistants should be competent in asthma-inhaler support and seizure awareness, with appropriate safeguarding, care and communication practices. Suppliers should also be prepared to manage route continuity and examine TUPE implications where an existing service is transferred. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of specialist transport can suit a focused local operator with the necessary vehicle, staffing and compliance arrangements.
