UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for three pupils attending Walton Leigh School under its special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport requirement. The service involves transporting pupils from the TW15, TW16 and KT12 postcode areas. A wheelchair-accessible vehicle is required because one of the three pupils uses a wheelchair. The service also includes passenger assistance: one personal assistant must receive training to administer emergency buccal medication. This is a pupil transport operation rather than general passenger transport, with safeguarding, accessibility and health-support responsibilities forming part of delivery. The relevant service category is transport services, excluding waste transport, and delivery is centred on journeys to and from Walton Leigh School.

The procurement is complete and was run by Surrey County Council as a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Mums and Sons Ltd, which holds an active award. The award was made on 14 August 2026 for £182,400 gross. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The selected supplier is responsible for the client transport service described for Walton Leigh School. The process used a limited competition rather than an open tender; the published outcome identifies the successful supplier and contract value, but does not provide a separate breakdown by pupil or journey.

This requirement indicates demand for an established SEND transport provider able to deliver reliable school journeys for a small number of pupils over a sustained contract period. Credible competitors would need access to a wheelchair-accessible vehicle and suitably trained passenger-assistance staff. The requirement for one personal assistant to administer emergency buccal medication means providers must be able to arrange and evidence appropriate training, maintain safe operating procedures and support pupils with medical needs. Experience in accessible school transport, SEND passenger care, safeguarding and working with families and schools would strengthen a future response. Local operational coverage around Walton Leigh School and the TW15, TW16 and KT12 areas would also help with dependable daily delivery.
