UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for a pupil attending Strodes College in Egham. The requirement covers one pupil travelling from Ashford, with the possibility that a wheelchair may need to be accommodated. The vehicle must be a saloon car with a boot large enough for a collapsible wheelchair when required. No passenger assistant is required. This is a passenger transport service for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), rather than a general school transport or vehicle supply requirement. Delivery is centred on the journey between Ashford and Strodes College, Egham, serving the council’s education transport needs.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Foxhill Transfer Ltd. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. There was one completed lot. The award was made on 28 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £1,195.49 including tax. The successful service covers transport services for the SEND requirement, evaluated through the council’s limited competition process. The award is active and the contract is active; no cancellation or termination is recorded.

This procurement demonstrates a defined local requirement for reliable, small-scale SEND pupil transport arranged through a below-threshold limited competition. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this kind would be able to provide safe, dependable journeys for a college pupil, operate a suitable saloon vehicle, and accommodate a collapsible wheelchair in the boot when needed. They would also need to plan the Ashford-to-Egham journey consistently without relying on a passenger assistant. Local operators with suitable vehicles, dependable driver availability and experience transporting children or passengers with additional needs would be credible competitors. Familiarity with council education transport requirements and the ability to respond efficiently to a focused limited competition would also be relevant.
