Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), under the requirement titled Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND. The service transports three students from Woking and Ripley to Brookways School in Sutton. It requires one small multi-purpose vehicle with five passenger seats and one passenger assistant. The assistant must understand the students’ transport needs, including careful fastening of seat belts or harnesses and informing attending medical staff after an accident that a tube or button is present. The tube or button must not be used to provide feeding or medicines during transport. The work is classified as transport services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ANGEL CARS (WOKING) LTD. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 30 July 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract is active and runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £15,109,786 including tax. The opportunity comprised one lot covering the full requirement. The selected supplier is responsible for the transport service for the three students, including the vehicle and passenger-assistant provision. The award relates to the single requirement for travel between Woking and Ripley and Brookways School in Sutton.

This procurement demonstrates substantial demand from Surrey County Council for managed SEND home-to-school transport, combining vehicle provision with trained passenger support. A credible future competitor would need to operate a suitable five-seat MPV, provide reliable journeys between Woking, Ripley and Sutton, and support a small group of students consistently. Staff capability is important: the passenger assistant must safely secure seat belts or harnesses, respond appropriately in an accident, and communicate relevant medical-device information to emergency clinicians without using the device for feeding or medication. Suppliers with proven SEND transport experience, dependable safeguarding and incident procedures, suitable vehicles, and the capacity to maintain regular school journeys would be well placed for comparable requirements from this buyer.
