UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport for two students with special educational needs and disabilities attending The Orpheus Centre. The service covers journeys from Banstead to the school in Godstone, Surrey. It requires one saloon car with four passenger seats and one personal assistant to support behaviour during transport. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a local public authority. The requirement is focused on safe, supported travel for a very small number of pupils rather than general bus operations, fleet-wide transport or construction and goods supply. Suppliers operating suitable passenger transport services, with the ability to provide an accompanying behavioural-support assistant, are the closest fit for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It had one lot. Swyft Executive Ltd was awarded the contract on 4 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is worth £38,511.26 including tax. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies the requirement as a light-touch service procurement. The available procurement information records the limited-competition route and the selected supplier, but does not set out an award scoring breakdown or detailed evaluation weighting. This was a single-provider award rather than separate awards across multiple lots or suppliers.

For a supplier assessing this buyer’s future requirements, the award demonstrates demand for tailored SEND school transport linking Banstead with a specialist education setting in Godstone. A credible competitor would need to provide a suitable saloon vehicle with enough passenger capacity for the pupils and accompanying support, along with a reliable personal assistant able to manage behavioural needs during journeys. The small passenger group means operational suitability, safeguarding, dependable attendance and continuity of service are likely to matter more than large-scale fleet capacity. Experience delivering sensitive school or passenger transport, and the ability to coordinate journeys around the school timetable and individual support needs, would position a provider well when pursuing a similar requirement from Surrey County Council.
