Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) school travel. The requirement covers transporting one student from Caterham to Epsom and Ewell High School in Epsom. It is a passenger transport service using one saloon vehicle with four passenger seats, with no passenger assistant required. The service is bought by Surrey County Council for delivery between the student’s location in Caterham and the school in Epsom. The procurement falls within the broad category of transport services and concerns an individual school journey rather than a wider fleet, public bus network or general education transport operation.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Movr Limited. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 6 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £8,208,000 gross. The procurement comprised one completed lot covering the specified SEND school transport service. The award concerns passenger transport services for the single student journey between Caterham and Epsom. The contract is below the applicable threshold and is subject to the light-touch regime. Movr Limited is the selected supplier.

This procurement shows Surrey County Council’s demand for dedicated SEND school transport arranged around an individual student, a defined home-to-school route and a small saloon vehicle. A credible competitor for similar Surrey requirements would need to organise reliable scheduled journeys between student locations and schools, provide a suitable four-passenger-seat saloon, and manage the operational requirements of transporting a student without a passenger assistant. Relevant capability lies in passenger transport scheduling, route planning, safeguarding-aware school travel operations and dependable day-to-day service delivery. Smaller, focused transport operators with suitable vehicles and experience serving education or SEND travel may be well placed, provided they can meet the council’s service and compliance requirements.
