UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport services for Sunnydown School in Caterham, supporting four students travelling from Epsom and Worcester Park. The requirement is for a small MPV and specifies no passenger assistant. This is a local authority service focused on transporting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities between their home areas and school. The work falls within passenger transport services (CPV 60000000). Suppliers operating small-vehicle transport services, school transport or specialist journeys for public-sector clients may find this requirement relevant, particularly where they can provide dependable vehicle-based transport for a defined group of students on journeys serving Caterham, Epsom and Worcester Park.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council awarded the single requirement to Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd on 24 July 2026; the contract was signed on the same date and is active. The awarded contract value is £2,853,810 including gross value, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender was treated as a light-touch procurement and consisted of one completed lot covering the Sunnydown School transport service. The award relates to the full requirement for four students travelling from Epsom and Worcester Park to Caterham, using a small MPV without a passenger assistant.

For a supplier assessing this buyer’s future requirements, the award demonstrates demand for dedicated SEND school transport using a small MPV rather than a large vehicle or a passenger-assistant model. A credible competitor would need to operate suitable small vehicles, plan and deliver dependable journeys between Epsom, Worcester Park and Caterham, and accommodate a clearly defined group of four students travelling to Sunnydown School. Experience in passenger transport and the practical ability to provide consistent school journeys would be directly relevant. The procurement also shows that Surrey County Council uses a below-threshold limited competition route for this type of defined service, so suppliers should be prepared to respond efficiently to a focused competition and demonstrate that their vehicle provision and operating arrangements match the stated journey and capacity requirements.
