Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Brookways School’s special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) passengers. The requirement covers four students, with no personal assistant, using a small multi-purpose vehicle with five passenger seats. Students are located in Redhill and the school is in Sutton, so the service involves transporting passengers between those locations. The procurement is categorised as transport services (CPV 60000000). It is a single service requirement for the council, covering the planned journey arrangements for the named students rather than general school transport or a wider passenger transport network. Suppliers suited to this work are operators able to provide safe, reliable and appropriately managed transport for children or young people with SEND, using a vehicle of the required size and serving Redhill and Sutton.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and has a gross value of £9,490,312. It runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award is active and the contract is active. This was a light-touch services procurement using a limited procedure rather than an open competition. The published requirement identifies transport for four Brookways School students, with no personal assistant, in a small MPV with five passenger seats. The contract title describes the wider service period as 2026–2034, while the awarded contract period recorded for this requirement ends on 31 July 2029. The award was made to Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd.

This award demonstrates substantial demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport between Redhill and Sutton. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable access to small MPVs with five passenger seats, the operational capacity to transport four students, and systems for consistent, safe journeys for children or young people with SEND. Local knowledge of the Redhill and Sutton travel corridor would support reliable delivery, particularly for regular school movements. The successful supplier profile also indicates that the council can use a limited below-threshold competition for this type of service, so businesses should be able to present a focused transport solution and demonstrate practical experience of passenger safety, safeguarding, punctuality and day-to-day service management. The requirement is relevant to specialist school transport operators, private-hire providers and courier or car businesses with suitable vehicles and SEND capability.
