## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils travelling to Manor Mead’s Virginia Water site. The requirement covers three siblings from Addlestone using a medium multi-purpose vehicle, with a personal assistant required to support the route because all three students are under five years old. The successful operator must arrange suitable car seats for the pupils. This is a local, child-focused transport service rather than general fleet provision: delivery runs between Addlestone and Virginia Water and involves passenger safety, assisted travel and reliable school transport. The procurement falls within transport services, and is relevant to operators providing accessible or assisted passenger journeys, school transport, private hire or community transport services in Surrey.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. There was one lot. Surrey County Council awarded the requirement to Tunsgate Cars Ltd on 19 August 2026 for £89,614.29 including tax. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Evaluation used the limited competition process; the published outcome identifies transport services as the main category. The awarded contract is active. This outcome records a single supplier for the full requirement, covering the vehicle, passenger assistant provision and associated car-seat arrangements for the specified SEND route. The contract title describes the wider programme as Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for small-scale, dedicated SEND transport delivered on a defined school route. Suppliers well placed for similar requirements would have access to a medium MPV, experience transporting young children, and the ability to provide a suitable personal assistant alongside the driver. Operational credibility would depend on safe passenger handling, dependable scheduled journeys, appropriate child car seats and reliable coordination with the school and families. Local private-hire, taxi, community transport and specialist school-transport operators could be relevant, particularly those able to cover Addlestone and Virginia Water consistently. The requirement also demonstrates that a small or medium-sized operator can satisfy the council’s needs through a below-threshold limited competition, rather than a large multi-route service.
