UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Merrywood House Independent Special School in Wallington. The requirement covers transport from Epsom for two students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The specified journey uses a saloon car and does not require a passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract, with delivery centred on the route between Epsom and the school in Wallington. The council is the public-sector buyer. The requirement is focused and route-specific, making it most relevant to operators able to provide reliable individual or small-group home-to-school transport for pupils with additional needs, using an appropriate saloon vehicle and meeting the practical requirements of the journey.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The tender used the light-touch regime and had one completed lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to Movr Limited on 21 July 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £6,688,000 including tax, covering the specified SEND client transport service. The award relates to transport services. The contracting process was run as a limited procedure rather than an open competition, so the outcome reflects a restricted competitive route for this requirement. Movr Limited is the selected supplier for the complete lot.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Surrey County Council for specialist SEND passenger transport on a defined school route. A credible future competitor would need dependable operational capacity for scheduled home-to-school journeys, a suitable saloon vehicle, and the ability to transport two students safely from Epsom to Merrywood House Independent Special School in Wallington. Experience of working with children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities would be directly relevant, as would robust safeguarding, journey planning, punctuality and service-continuity arrangements. The requirement may suit a capable local or regional transport operator that can manage a small passenger load consistently, understand education transport expectations and deliver reliable service without relying on a passenger assistant.
