Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council bought specialist home-to-school transport services for a pupil with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers one pupil travelling from Kenley to Riddlesdown Collegiate in Purley, with no passenger assistant required. The vehicle specified is one saloon car. The service falls within transport services (CPV 60000000) and is delivered on the named route between Kenley and Riddlesdown Collegiate. This is a focused passenger transport requirement rather than a general school transport operation, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide reliable individual or very small-scale SEND journeys using a suitable saloon vehicle. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation and public authority responsible for the requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to The RoadRunners Group, whose award is active. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its gross value is £19,792.86 including taxes, in GBP. The contract itself is active. The process used the light-touch regime and a limited procurement method. The published outcome identifies transport services for the single SEND journey, with one saloon vehicle and no passenger assistant, and records the selected supplier for the completed lot.

For a competitor, this award demonstrates a defined local demand for individual SEND transport from Surrey County Council, delivered on a specific school route rather than as a large multi-vehicle service. A credible future supplier would need to organise consistent journeys for a single pupil between Kenley and Riddlesdown Collegiate in Purley, using an appropriate saloon car and operating without a passenger assistant. The requirement suits transport operators with dependable driver and vehicle availability, strong route planning and the ability to manage a small contract efficiently. Experience of pupil or SEND transport would help demonstrate understanding of the service context, while the limited-competition route indicates that suppliers should be prepared to respond to focused, below-threshold council requirements.
