## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport for two pupils attending Blossom House School under its special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) client transport programme. The service involves one small multi-purpose vehicle and one passenger assistant for journeys between Ashtead and New Malden. The passenger assistant is required to support the pupils safely and must be trained in first aid and the administration of emergency medication, including use of an EpiPen. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply or general school transport. The requirement is relevant to operators providing accessible or assisted transport for children and young people with additional needs, with the ability to provide a suitable vehicle and trained support staff.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Surrey County Council selected Sonic Carz as the supplier for the single requirement. The award was made on 10 September 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The active contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £36,571.43 including applicable taxes. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the published outcome identifies transport services as the procurement category. The tender covered one lot for the Blossom House School arrangement, involving two pupils, one passenger assistant and one small MPV.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates Surrey County Council’s demand for small-scale, specialist SEND passenger transport rather than standard fleet-only provision. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience transporting children or young people with additional needs, reliable coverage between Ashtead and New Malden, and a suitable small MPV. It would also need to provide a dependable passenger assistant who can complete first-aid training and administer emergency medication safely, including an EpiPen. Operational strength would include safeguarding-aware staff, consistent journey planning, suitable contingency arrangements and the capacity to support both pupils and the accompanying passenger assistant requirement. Sonic Carz’s selection indicates that an SME-sized local transport operator can meet this type of council need.
