UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport for a student attending East Surrey College in Redhill. The journey is from Lingfield and concerns one student, under the council’s SEND client transport programme. The requirement is for a saloon car and does not include a passenger assistant. The service falls within transport services, covering the movement of the student to and from the college. The route forms part of the council’s wider Client Transport Services 2026–2034 programme, but this individual requirement concerns the East Surrey College route only. Suppliers relevant to this requirement are passenger transport operators able to provide a saloon vehicle and undertake individual student journeys between Lingfield and Redhill.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Sprint transfers Ltd. The award is active and the contract was signed on 29 August 2026. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2026, with an awarded contract value of £8,081.07 including the recorded gross amount. The student is eligible only until 31 December 2026. The final timetable had not been confirmed, so the route might not operate five times each week. The published requirement did not include a stated evaluation weighting or selection criterion.

For a competing operator, this procurement shows Surrey County Council’s demand for small-scale, individual SEND transport between named Surrey locations and an education provider. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need to provide a suitable saloon car, deliver reliable passenger transport for a single student, and manage journeys where the timetable or weekly frequency may change. The service does not require a passenger assistant on this route. Relevant operational strengths include dependable daily scheduling, clear communication with the council and family or education setting, and the ability to support a student whose eligibility may be time-limited. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of route can be delivered by a small specialist transport business.
