UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) journey to Philip Southcote school. The service covers one pupil and one passenger assistant travelling in an Access 8 vehicle, including transport for one pupil who uses a wheelchair. The required service is therefore accessible school transport rather than general passenger transport, with provision for a passenger assistant alongside the vehicle and driver. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council. The awarded supplier, Angel Cars (Woking) Ltd, is based in Woking. The procurement is classified as transport services, covering the delivery of this specific pupil journey to the school.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Angel Cars (Woking) Ltd on 29 July 2026. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and is active, with a period from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £4,923,643 gross. The award covers the transport services for the single SEND requirement described, including the Access 8 vehicle, passenger assistant and wheelchair user. The award is recorded as active and the contract is also active. The published process data identifies a limited competition but does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This award indicates substantial demand from Surrey County Council for specialist SEND passenger transport, including journeys involving wheelchair users, passenger assistants and accessible vehicles. Suppliers well placed for similar requirements would need to operate or source suitable accessible vehicles, including Access 8 capacity, and provide dependable school transport for individual pupils. They would also need to coordinate safely with passenger assistants and accommodate wheelchair travel as part of routine service delivery. Experience in accessible passenger transport and the operational capacity to deliver council-funded school journeys would strengthen a future competing offer. The route used here was a below-threshold limited competition, so relevant operators should be able to respond through a focused, procurement-led process rather than a large open-market tender.
