UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for two pupils attending Leith Hill School, with journeys involving Oxshott and Holmbury-St-Mary. The requirement is for one saloon car and one passenger assistant, providing dedicated transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The passenger assistant must be trained in asthma awareness because one pupil cannot self-administer their inhaler. This is a local, pupil-focused service rather than general passenger transport: suppliers need to provide safe journeys, appropriate passenger support and reliable coordination with the school and family arrangements. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate, and the service is delivered around the specified Surrey locations and the school route.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It covered one lot for transport services. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The awarded supplier is Parkers of Reigate Ltd, an SME. The contract value is £155,040 gross, including the stated amount in GBP. The service was evaluated and awarded as a limited competition; the available outcome identifies Parkers of Reigate Ltd as the supplier for the full requirement. The contract is active, while the tender and lot are recorded as complete. The procurement's classification is transport services, excluding waste transport.

This procurement shows recurring demand from Surrey County Council for small-scale, specialist school transport rather than high-volume fleet operation. A credible competitor would need suitable saloon-car capacity, dependable local knowledge of Surrey routes, and the ability to transport two pupils safely and consistently. Passenger-assistant provision is central: the service requires one assistant, and asthma-awareness training is needed to support a pupil who cannot self-administer an inhaler. Relevant businesses are therefore likely to be established local transport operators, school transport providers or small firms able to combine driving with appropriately trained passenger support. Evidence of safeguarding, reliable attendance, careful pupil handling and effective communication with schools and families would strengthen their position when this type of requirement returns.
