Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for a special educational needs (SEND) passenger attending Three Rivers Academy. The requirement covered one student, with no personal assistant, using one saloon car. The journey relates to Addlestone and Walton-on-Thames, so the relevant operating area is local transport around these Surrey locations. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general facilities contract. The named public-sector buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement is specific and small in passenger numbers, focused on providing an individual journey to and from an education setting rather than a wider school transport network or a multi-passenger route.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one completed lot. Station Cars Hersham was selected as the supplier, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £60,800 including tax. The arrangement is for client transport services under the light-touch regime. The recorded tender status is complete, while the contract itself is active. The requirement concerns a single SEND transport service for one student, with no personal assistant and a saloon car, rather than multiple lots or a broad fleet-wide service.

This procurement shows Surrey County Council’s demand for dependable, individually tailored SEND transport to education settings. A credible future competitor would need to provide a saloon car and operate reliably between Addlestone and Walton-on-Thames, while supporting a single student without relying on a personal assistant. Local route knowledge, dependable scheduling and the capacity to maintain consistent service throughout the school term would be commercially relevant. The awarded supplier is a large transport business, indicating that established operators can meet this type of requirement. Businesses reviewing similar work from Surrey County Council should therefore assess their ability to deliver safe, punctual single-passenger education transport at a focused local scale.
