UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for Forest Bridge School, serving children with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement is weekday transport from Monday to Friday in a medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle for two children and an accompanying personal assistant responsible for behaviour management. One child travels from Ash and one from Windlesham, with the personal assistant assigned to the route. The service includes transport to Forest Bridge School, postcode SL6 1BN, and requires the driver or operator to communicate effectively with the children and school staff. The vehicle may arrive at the school at 15:15, with a 10–15 minute transition waiting period allowed. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, fleet hire or general school transport.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Brookwood Cars and Taxis. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 21 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028, with the route scheduled to start on 7 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £101,475 gross, including the single completed lot. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition route, and the selected supplier is Brookwood Cars and Taxis. The contract is active, while the associated tender is recorded as complete.

This requirement demonstrates recurring demand from Surrey County Council for reliable, small-scale SEND school transport delivered through a limited competition. A credible future supplier would need access to a suitable medium-sized MPV, dependable weekday availability and the operational capacity to transport two children with an accompanying personal assistant. The service also calls for patient, safeguarding-conscious passenger handling and effective communication with children and school staff. Providers should be able to manage a scheduled school route involving Ash, Windlesham and Forest Bridge School, including a possible 10–15 minute transition wait at the school. Taxi and private-hire operators with experience transporting children with additional needs, strong driver suitability processes and dependable route management are the closest fit for this requirement.
