UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport. The requirement covers transport for one pupil travelling from Oxted to Orchard Hill College, Copthall House, Grove Road, Sutton. The passenger uses a powered wheelchair and does not require a personal assistant. The specification also identifies one Access 8 vehicle requirement. This is passenger transport rather than vehicle supply or general logistics, with the service centred on safely carrying a wheelchair user to and from an education setting. Transport operators with suitable accessible vehicles, trained drivers and the operational ability to provide a reliable pupil journey in the Oxted and Sutton area are the most relevant businesses.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime, with one completed lot. Sprint Transfers Ltd was selected as the supplier, and its award is active. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and has an active period from 7 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £27,710 including tax. The contract is for the SEND client transport requirement titled Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND. No separate award or contract values apply to other lots: this process records one lot and one supplier award.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for specialist, individualised school transport for a powered wheelchair user, linking Oxted with an education site in Sutton. A credible future competitor would need an accessible vehicle suited to the stated passenger and Access 8 requirement, reliable scheduling and route-planning capability, and drivers able to transport a child or young person using a powered wheelchair safely. The absence of a personal assistant requirement indicates that the operating model is focused on transport rather than passenger escort provision. Small transport operators may be relevant where they can demonstrate dependable service delivery, suitable vehicle availability and the capacity to manage a dedicated education journey under a limited-competition process.
