UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision. The requirement was a dedicated journey for one student travelling from Lingfield to Merrywood House Independent Special School in Wallington. The specified vehicle was a saloon car, and the journey did not require a passenger assistant. This is a local passenger transport service rather than a general school transport framework or a vehicle supply contract. The work is delivered along the Lingfield-to-Wallington route, with Merrywood House as the destination. The relevant service category is transport services excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000).

The procurement has been completed following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd, whose award remains active. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £28,540.48 gross. The award covered the single SEND transport requirement described above. The tender was evaluated through the limited-competition route; the published outcome identifies the selected supplier but does not provide separate evaluation weightings. The contract is active and the tender status is complete.

This procurement shows demand from Surrey County Council for planned, pupil-specific SEND transport on a defined local route. A credible competing supplier would need to provide a suitable saloon vehicle and reliably carry one student between Lingfield and Merrywood House Independent Special School in Wallington, without relying on a passenger assistant for this requirement. The scale is suited to an operator able to dedicate capacity to a regular single-passenger journey rather than a large fleet operation. The successful route was a below-threshold limited competition, so businesses targeting similar Surrey requirements should be able to present a clear, practical service offer for individual SEND journeys and demonstrate that they can cover the required locations consistently.
