UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers a weekday saloon-car route serving Wishmore, GU24 8NS, with one pupil from Hersham, one from Walton-on-Thames, who may require a booster seat, and one from West Byfleet. The service is intended to take these pupils to the destination on the specified route. The work is delivered across Surrey locations including Hersham, Walton-on-Thames, West Byfleet and Wishmore. The procurement is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport. This is a single-route passenger transport requirement for a public-sector education and care-related service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Galaxy Cars. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its awarded value is £9,044,000 gross, including the full contract period. The requirement is titled Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND and comprises one completed lot. Service commencement for one pupil was set for 3 September 2026, with all pupils starting on 4 September 2026. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded award covers the transport service for this route and its related SEND passengers.

This procurement demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from Surrey County Council for structured SEND passenger transport delivered on school weekdays. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable saloon-car transport for individual pupils, manage routes across Hersham, Walton-on-Thames, West Byfleet and Wishmore, and accommodate passenger-specific needs such as a booster seat. Operational strength would include dependable driver and vehicle availability, punctual school-day scheduling, safe handling of children and young people with additional needs, and the ability to coordinate different passenger pick-up points on one route. Local knowledge of Surrey roads and communities would be useful. The scale of the awarded requirement indicates that suppliers need sufficient capacity and robust service management for a multi-passenger route.
