## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for two pupils with special educational needs and disabilities attending Carew Academy. The service covers journeys for one pupil from Caterham and one from Kenley to the school in Wallington. The requirement is for one saloon vehicle with four passenger seats and does not include a personal assistant. This is a passenger transport service, covering the daily movement of pupils between their homes and school. The work is centred on these Surrey and south London locations, with the council as the public-sector buyer. The requirement also includes a TUPE document, indicating that information about transferring staff is relevant to delivery and should be considered by any organisation assessing the operating model and workforce arrangements.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to St Joseph’s Travels Ltd, an SME. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 14 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £72,200 gross. One completed lot covered the transport service, and the award relates to that lot. The evaluated requirement was transport services for the specified SEND school journey, using one saloon vehicle for two pupils. The recorded award is active and the contract is active, so this is an outcome notice rather than an invitation to submit a bid.

This procurement shows Surrey County Council’s demand for small-scale, specialist SEND school transport delivered on defined home-to-school routes. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need suitable passenger transport operations, access to a four-passenger-seat saloon, and the capacity to provide reliable journeys for pupils travelling from Caterham and Kenley to Wallington. Local knowledge of the routes and dependable scheduling would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to manage safeguarding and the practical needs of transporting children with special educational needs and disabilities. Suppliers should also be prepared to assess TUPE implications where incumbent staff may transfer, and to demonstrate that their workforce and operating arrangements can support consistent school transport delivery.
