## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport for one child with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service covers travel between the student’s location in Esher and Imperial Oak School, 11–13 London Street, Chertsey. The requirement is for one student on route S231A/26, with a stated distance of 17.60 miles. It includes a personal assistant to support behaviour, with that arrangement subject to review after one year. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, school facilities work or general education provision. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a local public authority. The relevant service category is transport services excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). The delivery locations are Esher and Chertsey in Surrey.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used a limited procedure and was treated as a light-touch service. There was one completed lot covering the Imperial Oak School route. The contract was signed and awarded to Sonic Carz, an SME, on 27 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £79,885.71 including tax. The selected supplier is responsible for the single SEND transport requirement and the associated behaviour-support personal assistant arrangement. The published outcome records the award as active and the contract as active. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available outcome identifies the successful supplier but does not set out separate quality or price weightings.

This requirement demonstrates a buyer’s need for dependable, specialist transport for an individual SEND pupil, including support for behaviour during the journey. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have suitable passenger vehicles, appropriately trained drivers and the ability to provide a consistent service for a single student travelling between Esher and a school in Chertsey. Credibility would also depend on arranging a suitable personal assistant or equivalent trained passenger-support resource, managing safeguarding and SEND-related needs, and maintaining reliable daily route coverage over the school service period. Local knowledge of Surrey roads and the capacity to operate a 17.60-mile route would be relevant. A small transport operator can compete for this scale of requirement, provided it can evidence safe, resilient and child-centred delivery.
