## Summary

Surrey County Council procured special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) client transport services for one pupil travelling from Reigate to Forest Row, Kent. The requirement is for a saloon vehicle and covers the daily transport service rather than vehicle supply or general passenger transport. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The service is classified as transport services and is intended to support the pupil’s journey between the stated locations. This is a small, specific passenger transport requirement suited to an operator able to provide a reliable saloon vehicle and manage the route and service needs associated with transporting a single SEND passenger.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Gateway fleet was selected as the supplier for the single requirement. The award was made on 7 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with a gross value of £68,400. The contract is active and the award is active. The procurement uses the light-touch regime and was conducted as a limited procedure. The published requirement covered client transport services for 2026 to 2034, while the awarded contract period recorded for this service is from September 2026 to July 2029.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for dedicated SEND passenger transport on a defined school-related route, using a saloon vehicle for one pupil. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need suitable passenger transport capacity, a dependable saloon vehicle and the operational ability to provide consistent journeys between Reigate and Forest Row. Experience of transporting children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities would be directly relevant, alongside robust safeguarding, reliability and route-management arrangements. The award to Gateway fleet, identified as an SME, indicates that a smaller specialist transport operator can satisfy this type of council requirement through a focused local service rather than a large fleet operation.
