UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport for one student attending Burstow Park School. The service links the student’s location in Epsom, KT19, with the school in Redhill, RH1. It requires one saloon car with four passenger seats and does not require a personal assistant. This is a passenger transport service supporting a child or young person with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is local to Surrey and involves regular journeys between Epsom and Redhill. Businesses operating school transport, private hire or passenger vehicle services in this area would be the closest fit, particularly those able to provide a suitable saloon car and reliable scheduled transport for an individual student.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It used the light-touch regime and consisted of one lot. Surrey County Council awarded the service to Jewel Cars Gatwick Limited, an SME. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £23,428.93 including tax, in GBP. The awarded service is recorded as active. The published procurement information identifies transport services as the relevant classification. This outcome shows that the council used a focused, limited route for a small, individual-student transport requirement rather than an open competition.

This procurement is relevant to local passenger transport operators, private hire businesses and other suppliers able to deliver dependable one-student school journeys between Epsom and Redhill. A credible competitor for this requirement would need access to a four-passenger-seat saloon car, capacity to provide regular scheduled travel throughout the school service period, and the operational reliability needed for SEND transport. The award to an SME indicates that the requirement can suit a smaller operator rather than only a large fleet provider. Experience of school or assisted passenger transport, suitable safeguarding and compliance arrangements, and dependable driver and vehicle availability would strengthen a future response to this buyer’s comparable requirement.
