UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist SEND client transport services for Hopescourt School on Waterside Drive, Walton-on-Thames. The requirement covers transport for two students travelling between Guildford and Godalming and the school in Walton-on-Thames. One student travels five days a week, morning and afternoon; the other travels on Thursdays and Fridays, morning and afternoon. The service requires one medium MPV with seven passenger seats and one passenger assistant. The passenger assistant must be trained in first aid, seizure awareness under the 99 protocol, and EpiPen administration because of allergies. This is a passenger transport service rather than a general vehicle supply requirement, suited to operators able to provide safe, supported school journeys for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ANGEL CARS (WOKING) LTD. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime, with one completed lot. The award was recorded as active and the contract was signed on 4 August 2026. The contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its total value is £15,945,000 including tax. The service is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport. The contracting process title identifies the wider requirement as Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND, while this award concerns the Hopescourt School route. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier but does not provide a separate award date or detailed scoring criteria.

This requirement demonstrates substantial, sustained demand from Surrey County Council for specialist school transport for SEND passengers. A credible competitor for a future equivalent requirement would need to operate a suitable seven-seat medium MPV, provide reliable morning and afternoon journeys between Guildford, Godalming and Walton-on-Thames, and manage different weekly travel patterns. It would also need appropriately trained passenger assistants who can provide first aid, respond to seizures under the 99 protocol, and administer EpiPens for passengers with allergies. The award indicates that the buyer values an integrated transport-and-support service rather than vehicles alone. Relevant capability therefore includes accessible, safeguarding-conscious passenger operations, dependable scheduling and capacity to deliver regular school transport over a multi-year service period.
