## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport for a pupil attending The Bridge SEN School in Thornton Heath. The service covers travel between the pupil’s location in Ashford and the school in Thornton Heath, using a saloon car. It is a passenger transport service (CPV 60000000) supporting special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision. The requirement is for one student and includes a personal assistant (PA). The PA is part of the transport arrangement and supports the pupil during journeys under an agreed care plan. The work is therefore suited to operators providing safe, individualised home-to-school transport across Surrey, Ashford and Thornton Heath, rather than general fleet or high-volume passenger transport services.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Cascade Cars following a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 17 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £49,474.29 gross. The procurement used the light-touch regime and comprised one completed requirement. The award covers the full transport service for the specified student and route. The contract is active, while the tender and lot are recorded as complete. The published outcome identifies Cascade Cars as the selected supplier; no separate award values are stated. The procurement was managed and funded by Surrey County Council.

This award indicates a defined need for one-to-one SEND school transport, combining a saloon vehicle with a trained personal assistant. Suppliers competing for comparable work for Surrey County Council would need to deliver reliable journeys between a pupil’s home location and school, manage a single-passenger route, and provide appropriate safeguarding and care-plan support. The PA requirement includes first-aid training, seizure management, adherence to the 999 protocol and behaviour-management training. This points to a capability beyond ordinary private-hire driving: operators need staff able to support children with additional needs safely and consistently. Experience in specialist education transport, suitable passenger-assistant provision and dependable low-volume route management would make a supplier credible for this buyer’s recurring SEND requirements.
