UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel to Limpsfield Grange. The requirement covers transport for three pupils, with no personal assistant, using a saloon vehicle. The pupils live in the KT11 and KT10 postcode areas, so the service involves passenger transport between those communities and Limpsfield Grange. This is a service contract for a defined education transport route rather than a general vehicle hire or fleet supply requirement. Suppliers suited to this type of work are passenger transport operators able to provide reliable, regular journeys for children and young people and to manage the practical requirements of a small, dedicated school transport service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd. The award was made on 13 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029 and is valued at £101,072.40 including tax. Surrey County Council evaluated the requirement through a limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award covers the full transport service for the Limpsfield Grange route, including three pupils travelling from the KT11 and KT10 areas in a saloon vehicle without a personal assistant. The contract is active and the procurement status is complete.

This award shows a defined and recurring requirement from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport to an education setting. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need access to a suitable saloon vehicle, the operational capacity to provide regular journeys for three pupils, and the ability to serve the Limpsfield Grange route from the KT11 and KT10 areas. Reliability, careful journey planning and experience of transporting pupils would be commercially relevant, particularly where the service is delivered without a personal assistant. The opportunity also demonstrates that the council uses a below-threshold limited competition for this scale of transport service, so local passenger transport firms and courier operators with suitable vehicles may be well placed to monitor similar council requirements.
