Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for two students with special educational needs and disabilities attending Muntham House School. The requirement is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000, carrying the students from locations in Redhill and Reigate to the school in Horsham. The service requires one saloon car with four passenger seats and does not require a personal assistant. This is a council-funded service delivered across Surrey and West Sussex locations, involving scheduled journeys between the students’ homes or local areas and the school. It is relevant to passenger transport operators, school transport providers, private hire companies and other businesses able to provide reliable, appropriately managed journeys for SEND students.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd, and the award is active. The award date was 11 August 2026, with the contract signed on the same date. The contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029 and has a value of £95,662.41 including gross value, in GBP. The process comprised one completed lot covering the student transport service. The published outcome identifies a limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract title is Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND, although the recorded contract period ends in July 2029.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for dependable, scheduled SEND passenger transport between Redhill and Reigate and a specialist school in Horsham. A credible future competitor would need to operate a suitable saloon vehicle with at least four passenger seats and have the capacity to transport two students safely and consistently. Relevant strengths would include experience of school or SEND transport, robust safeguarding and journey-management procedures, reliable vehicle availability, and the ability to maintain punctual services across the Surrey and West Sussex area. Operators without a personal-assistant provision may still be relevant to this particular service, since the requirement was for transport without a PA. The buyer’s use of a limited below-threshold competition also indicates a route suited to established local operators.
