UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport to Blossom House. The requirement covers three pupils, with no passenger assistant, using one saloon car. The service connects Horley and New Malden, so relevant suppliers need to operate in or serve these locations and provide suitable pupil transport for the specified journey. The procurement is for services rather than goods or works, classified under CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer responsible for the requirement. The scope is a focused route-based transport service rather than a broad fleet or general passenger transport contract, making it most relevant to operators experienced in scheduled education or assisted travel services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used a light-touch regime and comprised one completed lot. Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd was awarded the contract on 27 July 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £2,972,976 gross. The award covers the transport service for the three pupils linked to Blossom House, using the single lot. The process was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available outcome identifies the selected supplier but does not publish separate scoring or weighting details. The contract title refers to Client Transport Services 2026–2034, while the recorded contract period is the one-year term stated above.

This award provides a clear example of Surrey County Council’s demand for dedicated SEND pupil transport on a defined route, at substantial contract scale. Competitors would need to demonstrate dependable scheduled transport for three pupils, operate a suitable saloon car, and provide consistent coverage between Horley and New Malden for travel to Blossom House. The requirement is suited to established private-hire, taxi, courier or specialist passenger-transport operators with the operational capacity to maintain a regular education journey and manage delivery without a passenger assistant. Local knowledge of Surrey and adjoining areas, reliable vehicle availability and experience meeting the practical needs of SEND transport would strengthen a future response. The limited-competition route also indicates that suppliers should monitor council opportunities and be prepared to respond efficiently to focused route requirements.
