Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for special educational needs (SEND) travel under the requirement titled “Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND”. The service covers transport to and from More House School for three pupils, using a medium-sized passenger vehicle (MPV). No passenger assistant is required. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement, and is suited to operators able to provide regular, reliable school journeys for a small group of pupils. The procurement is managed by Surrey County Council, a public authority, and the requirement is specific to the More House School route and its three-pupil capacity.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One service lot was awarded to Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd. The award is active and the contract was signed on 10 August 2026. The contract value is £34,486.91 including gross value, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The requirement falls under the light-touch regime and is classified as transport services excluding waste transport. The published outcome identifies Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd as the selected supplier. This was a single-route or single-requirement award for the More House School transport service, rather than a multi-lot programme with several awarded suppliers.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for a transport operator serving SEND pupils on a school journey, with a medium MPV and capacity for three passengers. A credible future competitor would need to operate a suitable passenger vehicle, organise dependable scheduled journeys and manage the practical requirements of transporting a small group of pupils to More House School. The absence of a passenger assistant makes the vehicle and driving service the central delivery capability. Businesses with experience in contracted school or client transport, and the operational capacity to provide consistent route cover for a small passenger group, would be the closest match when this buyer next considers the same requirement.
