## Summary

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is a dedicated route to Philip Southcote for eight pupils travelling by minibus, with the possibility of a ninth pupil joining. The vehicle must be a 9–16-seater minibus, and the specification states that no equipment is needed. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or equipment contract. The work is associated with Surrey County Council and the route to Philip Southcote. Businesses relevant to this requirement are operators able to provide suitable minibuses and transport school-age SEND passengers on a defined route.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Sprint Travel Ltd, a Woking-based supplier. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 5 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is valued at £6,850,286 gross. There was one completed lot covering the transport service, classified as transport services. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies Sprint Travel Ltd as the selected supplier; the procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the outcome demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from Surrey County Council for contracted SEND passenger transport. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to operate a 9–16-seat minibus, provide capacity for at least eight pupils and potentially nine, and reliably cover a dedicated route to Philip Southcote. The relevant capability is practical school transport delivery rather than vehicle hire alone: maintaining an appropriate minibus, planning and operating the route, and transporting a small group of SEND pupils consistently. Sprint Travel Ltd is recorded as an SME, showing that this type of council requirement can be delivered by a focused small or medium-sized transport operator.
