UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport services for Walton Leigh School under its Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND requirement. The service covers transport for four pupils living in the TW14 and TW15 postcode areas. It requires one passenger assistant for the journey and a medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle with seven passenger seats. This is a passenger transport service focused on supporting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The work is associated with Surrey County Council, with the pupils’ journeys centred on Walton Leigh School and the TW14 and TW15 areas. Suppliers operating suitable school, community or accessible passenger transport services would find the requirement relevant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Hughes Mini Services Ltd was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award was made on 12 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £152,638.40 including gross value in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The awarded scope is transport services for the four-pupil Walton Leigh School route, including a passenger assistant and a seven-seat medium vehicle. The process used a limited procurement method under the light-touch regime. The resulting contract is active, and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for repeated SEND passenger transport linked to one school route and a small group of pupils. A credible competitor for a future requirement from Surrey County Council would need to provide a reliable seven-seat medium vehicle, safely transport four pupils, and supply a suitably capable passenger assistant. Relevant operational strengths would include dependable daily school-run scheduling, route planning around the TW14 and TW15 areas, safeguarding-focused passenger care and the ability to support children with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement also suits smaller transport operators able to manage a dedicated vehicle and consistent service rather than a large fleet operation. Experience delivering school or assisted passenger transport would strengthen a supplier’s credibility.
