UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers one school journey for Bramley Bank Short Stay School in South Croydon, serving two students travelling from Worcester Park and Warlingham. The route is approximately 32.22 miles and requires a saloon vehicle, with no personal assistant specified. The service falls within passenger transport services and is intended to transport the named pupils safely between their locations and the school. This is a council-led requirement focused on a specific school route rather than a general transport network or broader education transport service. Suppliers suited to this type of work include specialist school transport operators, private hire firms and courier or passenger transport businesses with suitable vehicles and local operating coverage.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It comprised one completed lot. Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd was awarded the contract on 20 August 2026 for £31,872.86 gross, with the contract signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award concerns the single SEND school transport route described above. The recorded procurement method was limited, with further detail identifying a below-threshold limited competition. The available outcome records identify the successful supplier and awarded contract value; they do not set out a separate price or quality scoring basis. The contract is recorded as active following award.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for regular SEND school transport involving two pupils, a saloon vehicle and a route linking Worcester Park and Warlingham with Bramley Bank Short Stay School in South Croydon. A credible competitor for similar work would need dependable passenger transport operations, a suitable saloon vehicle and the capacity to provide consistent journeys over the school service pattern. Local knowledge of south-west London and Surrey travel routes would help with planning and reliable delivery, particularly where pupils begin at different locations. The requirement also suits operators experienced in school or specialist transport, able to manage safeguarding, punctuality and communication with a local authority. The award shows that a small, route-specific requirement can be procured through a below-threshold limited competition.
