UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport for one pupil with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement is a saloon-car journey from Redhill, Surrey, to Crawley, West Sussex. The service falls within passenger transport services and is intended to provide regular travel between the pupil’s starting point and destination. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer and the work is delivered across the Redhill and Crawley areas. This is a focused, individual-pupil transport requirement rather than a general fleet, bus or public transport operation. It is relevant to businesses providing planned school or client transport by car, particularly operators able to cover cross-county journeys between Surrey and West Sussex.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The single lot was awarded to Sprint Transfers Ltd. The award was active and the contract was signed on 31 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with an awarded value of £63,840 gross. The evaluation basis is not set out in the available process information. The requirement covered one saloon-car transport service, corresponding to the completed lot. Surrey County Council is buying the service directly, and Sprint Transfers Ltd is the selected supplier. The contract remains active for the stated service period.

This outcome demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport serving an individual pupil on a defined Redhill-to-Crawley route. It is most relevant to small transport operators, private-hire firms and specialist passenger transport businesses with suitable saloon cars, reliable availability and the ability to provide consistent scheduled journeys across Surrey and West Sussex. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to show dependable day-to-day service, route coverage between the specified communities and the operational capacity to maintain one pupil’s transport over a school-year service period. The awarded supplier’s success also indicates that a focused local operator can compete for a relatively small, single-passenger council transport requirement through a limited competition.
