Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) passengers. The requirement covers transport for one passenger travelling from Horley to Supa Jam Brighton, with a saloon car required for the route. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, construction or general logistics. The service is bought by Surrey County Council for an individual education-related journey, with delivery involving collection in Horley and travel to Brighton. The relevant classification is CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport. The requirement was arranged as a single completed lot and awarded to Sprint transfers Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Horley.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Sprint transfers Ltd. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £29,850.43, including any applicable taxes, in GBP. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The tender and its single lot are recorded as complete, and the resulting contract is active. The award covers the transport service for the passenger and route described above. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one contract; no separate award values or alternative lots apply. The contract is below the relevant procurement threshold.

This requirement is relevant to passenger transport operators able to provide reliable SEND journeys for individual learners, including operators with suitable saloon cars and the capacity to complete regular cross-county travel between Surrey and Brighton. A credible competitor would need to organise safe, dependable pick-up and drop-off arrangements for one passenger, maintain continuity across the service period and meet the practical needs of education-related transport. The award to an SME shows that the scale can suit a smaller specialist operator rather than only a large fleet provider. Businesses with a local operating base around Horley, experience in assisted or school transport, and the ability to deliver a dedicated car service would be well placed for comparable Surrey County Council requirements.
