UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured a passenger transport service for one student attending Heathermount School. The requirement covers one route from Ashford to the school, using a saloon vehicle, with no personal assistant required. This is a specialised school and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport service, classified under transport services. The work is local to the student’s journey between Ashford and Heathermount School in Surrey. It is suited to operators able to provide reliable, safeguarding-conscious individual school transport, using an appropriate saloon vehicle and meeting the practical needs of a single student. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement was handled as a light-touch service procurement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to School Run Ltd, an SME. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, reflecting a one-year requirement because the student finishes at the school in July 2027. The awarded contract value is £25,225.71 gross, including no separately stated tax adjustment, and is in GBP. There was one lot covering the student transport route. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the published information identifies the service scope and vehicle requirement rather than setting out detailed scoring criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for individual SEND school transport on a dedicated route, delivered with a saloon vehicle and without a personal assistant. Competitors would need to show they can organise dependable daily school journeys for a single student, maintain consistent driver and vehicle availability, and manage route-specific operations between Ashford and Heathermount School. Experience of transporting children or young people with SEND would support credibility, alongside robust safeguarding, passenger welfare and service-continuity arrangements. A small operator can be suitable: the selected supplier is recorded as an SME. Businesses with suitable saloon vehicles, reliable local coverage and experience of council-funded school transport would be well placed to monitor similar requirements from this buyer.
