UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for four pupils with special educational needs and disabilities attending West Ewell Primary School in Epsom. The requirement covers journeys for one pupil from Walton-on-Thames and three pupils from West Molesey to the school in Epsom. The service requires one medium MPV with seven passenger seats, providing transport for the four students without a personal assistant. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply or general fleet provision. The work is centred on scheduled school journeys between the pupils’ locations and West Ewell Primary School, postcode KT19 0UY, for the council’s client transport provision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used a limited procedure under the light-touch regime. There was one completed lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to Sonic Carz on 6 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £98,800 gross. The published outcome identifies transport services as the procurement category. The award covered the full requirement for the four SEND pupils and the specified medium MPV service. The selected supplier is Sonic Carz, an SME based in Epsom.

This requirement indicates demand for dependable, route-based SEND school transport serving Surrey pupils and an Epsom school. A credible future competitor would need to provide a suitable medium MPV with seven passenger seats and organise safe, reliable journeys for a small number of pupils travelling from Walton-on-Thames and West Molesey to Epsom. Local operating knowledge, dependable vehicle availability and the ability to maintain consistent school-run services would be commercially relevant. The requirement did not include a personal assistant, so the core capability is transport delivery rather than passenger-support staffing. Operators able to manage recurring education journeys, meet the council’s service expectations and compete through a limited local process would be well placed for similar work from this buyer.
