UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel. The requirement covers a dedicated route to Freemantles Secondary School for one pupil and a personal assistant, using a small multi-purpose vehicle. The vehicle must include one high-back booster seat. This is a passenger transport service rather than a general vehicle supply or construction requirement. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The service is focused on safely transporting a specific pupil and accompanying personal assistant to the school, so relevant suppliers are operators able to provide small-vehicle journeys for a very small passenger group and meet the stated vehicle-seat requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council awarded the single requirement to Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd on 10 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active. Its period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The awarded contract value is £104,345.72 gross, in GBP. The procurement used the light-touch regime and a limited procedure. The award covers the full transport requirement for one pupil, a personal assistant and the specified small multi-purpose vehicle route. The tender and contract are recorded as complete and active respectively.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for SEND passenger transport from Surrey County Council, delivered as a regular school route for one pupil and a personal assistant rather than as a large fleet operation. A credible competing supplier would need to operate or access a suitable small multi-purpose vehicle, provide the required high-back booster seat and reliably support journeys to Freemantles Secondary School. The opportunity is particularly relevant to local or regional private hire, taxi, courier or passenger transport businesses that can handle dedicated education-related routes and small passenger numbers. The awarded supplier is a large transport business, showing that established operational capacity can satisfy this buyer’s requirement, while the limited competition route indicates the importance of being visible to the council for comparable needs.
