Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured a specialised school transport service for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils under the title Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND. The requirement covers transport for two pupils connected with Blossom House School, with one saloon car and no personal assistant required. The service relates to travel between Hurst Green and New Malden. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, infrastructure or general haulage contract. Businesses suited to the requirement would provide managed car transport for children or young people with SEND, with the operational ability to deliver an individual route reliably for the council.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime, with one completed lot and services evaluated through that restricted route. The award was made on 24 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a gross value of £2,972,976. Surrey County Council is the buyer. The award covers the full transport requirement for the two pupils, one saloon car and the route associated with Blossom House School, Hurst Green and New Malden.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need to combine dependable passenger transport operations with a clear understanding of SEND travel. The awarded requirement demonstrates demand for a dedicated saloon-car service carrying two pupils without a personal assistant, rather than a large shared-vehicle operation. Relevant capability would include planning and running a consistent school journey between Hurst Green and New Malden, maintaining reliable attendance at the school, and managing safeguarding-sensitive passenger movements. A supplier would also need enough operational resilience to cover the route throughout the school service period, with suitable drivers, vehicle availability and arrangements for continuity when disruption occurs. Local knowledge and experience of council-funded school transport would strengthen its position.
