## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport for three pupils with special educational needs and disabilities travelling to Merrist Wood College in Worplesdon, Guildford. The service uses a medium-sized passenger vehicle and covers journeys from pickup areas in TW19 7RH, TW18 1EF and TW15 1UY to the college. The route involves different weekly timetables: one pupil travels Monday to Thursday, another Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and the third has a timetable to be confirmed. The service also accommodates early finishes by requiring pupils to wait until the last pupil on the route has finished. This is a local education transport service within Surrey’s client transport programme, classified as passenger transport services.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Abbex Cars, an SME trading as Blue Star Cars, was selected as the supplier. The award was made on 4 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is valued at £32,933.57. The requirement was handled as a single lot. The procurement record describes the tender as complete and the contract as active. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and transport service, but does not set out separate quality or price weightings.

This award indicates demand for dependable, small-scale school and college transport for pupils with additional needs, using a medium-sized vehicle and supporting several different weekly schedules. A credible future competitor would need to organise recurring weekday journeys, accommodate routes involving multiple pupils, and manage timetable variations where one passenger’s schedule is not yet fixed. The requirement also calls for practical coordination around early college finishes, since passengers may need to remain with the route until the final pupil has completed the day. Operators with suitable vehicle capacity, reliable weekday availability and experience planning education-related passenger transport would be well placed. The award to an SME shows that the work can suit a focused local transport business rather than only a large fleet operator.
