Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport for one pupil attending Malden Oaks, a specialist sixth-form college for pupils with special educational needs. The service covers travel between Stoneleigh and Ham, using one saloon car and no personal assistant. The journey schedule follows the pupil’s timetable, with weekday travel at different times from late morning through to mid-afternoon. This is a passenger transport service for a single SEND placement, rather than a general bus, taxi or fleet operation. Businesses relevant to this requirement are those able to provide safe, reliable, individually arranged school or college transport for a pupil with special educational needs in the Surrey area.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected Sonic Carz for the single requirement. The award was made on 10 September 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 11 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a gross value of £18,457.14. It covers the transport service between Stoneleigh and Ham for the Malden Oaks placement. The contract is active, while the tender and lot are recorded as complete. This was a light-touch services procurement using a limited procedure, with the requirement evaluated through that competitive route.

This award shows a recurring need for tightly scheduled SEND passenger transport serving Surrey educational placements. A credible future competitor would need to provide a suitable saloon car, dependable weekday availability and disciplined adherence to changing school or college timetables. The requirement suits a small local transport operator able to manage a single-pupil service personally and consistently, including reliable collection and drop-off between Stoneleigh and Ham. Relevant experience would include school transport, special educational needs journeys, passenger safeguarding and working to individual travel schedules. Operators should also be able to demonstrate dependable vehicles, appropriate driver capability and the capacity to maintain continuity throughout an academic year.
