Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for Merrywood House Independent Special School, an independent special school in Wallington. The requirement covers transport from Horley to the school for one pupil with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service is for a single passenger, with no personal assistant required, using a saloon car. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general school transport contract. The operational coverage links Horley and Wallington in Surrey and the surrounding area. Suppliers relevant to this requirement are private-hire, taxi, community transport and specialist passenger transport operators able to provide safe, reliable individual journeys for a child travelling to and from a SEND school.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Movr Limited. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded, with the evaluation resulting in an active award to Movr Limited. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £25,688.57, including the stated amount of £25,688.57, in GBP. The awarded service is transport for one pupil from Horley to Merrywood House Independent Special School in Wallington, with no personal assistant and a saloon vehicle. The published procurement title identifies the wider service period as 2026–2034, while this awarded contract covers the period stated above.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for individual SEND school transport between Horley and Wallington, rather than a large-volume route network. A credible competing supplier would need to provide dependable saloon-car journeys for a single pupil, manage regular school travel safely, and operate effectively across the relevant Surrey locations. Useful capabilities include experience transporting children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities, robust safeguarding and passenger-welfare arrangements, dependable scheduling, and contingency cover for vehicle or driver disruption. Operators with suitable licensed vehicles, appropriately vetted and trained drivers, and experience delivering education or council-funded passenger transport would be well placed when comparable requirements return. The single-passenger format may suit a taxi, private-hire or small specialist transport business with the capacity to provide consistent daily service.
