UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel. The requirement covers transport for one pupil attending Beckmead Park Academy, with no passenger assistant, using one saloon car. The journey is between Epsom and Beckenham, so the work involves providing a dedicated pupil transport service across Surrey and into the London area. The procurement falls within passenger transport services. The council is the buyer and commissioning authority. This is a small, single-passenger requirement rather than a general bus, taxi fleet or multi-passenger transport operation, and is suited to operators able to provide reliable, planned journeys for a named school placement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey Link Transport was selected on 20 August 2026. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and is valued at £82,080 gross. It runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The process used a light-touch regime and covered one requirement. The available outcome data identifies the transport service and selected supplier, but does not set out an award scoring breakdown. The contract is recorded as active, while the tender is complete. This is an awarded contract, not an opportunity to submit a bid for the current service.

This award indicates a defined need from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND pupil transport on an individual school route. Suppliers best placed for comparable work would be established passenger transport operators with a suitable saloon car, dependable driver cover and the capacity to deliver regular journeys for one pupil. Experience of school and SEND transport would help a competitor demonstrate that it can manage the practical and safeguarding demands of transporting a child to an education setting. The requirement also shows that the council uses a below-threshold limited competition for this type of small, route-specific service, so operators should be prepared to respond concisely to similar targeted competitions and evidence reliable delivery on cross-area journeys.
