## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport for one pupil with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), under its Client Transport Services programme. The requirement was transport to and from BRIT School, Croydon, for a pupil living in Epsom. The service required one small MPV with sufficient boot space for a collapsible standard wheelchair, carrying one pupil. The scheduled journey timetable covered Monday from 10:00 to 13:15, Tuesday from 09:00 to 13:15, Wednesday from 09:00 to 16:15 and Thursday from 09:00 to 12:15; there was no school transport requirement on Friday. This is a passenger transport service focused on safe, accessible and reliable daily travel between Epsom and the school in Croydon.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Lima Cars through a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 27 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £18,312.47 including tax. The requirement was treated as a light-touch service procurement and was not divided into multiple awarded lots. Evaluation resulted in an active award to Lima Cars for the transport service. The procurement’s classification is transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). Surrey County Council is the buying organisation and the awarded supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Epsom.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from Surrey County Council for small-scale, specialist SEND school transport linking individual pupils with schools outside their home town. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need an appropriately sized MPV, enough boot capacity for a collapsible standard wheelchair, and the operational ability to transport one pupil reliably to a fixed school timetable. Local coverage around Epsom and Croydon would be directly relevant, as would experience of scheduled passenger transport for children with additional needs. Suppliers should also be able to manage repeated weekday journeys, maintain dependable vehicle availability and deliver a safe, consistent service suited to an individual pupil rather than a high-volume route.
