Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned specialist school transport for two pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service involves taking both pupils to Aurora Redehall School in a saloon vehicle. The pupils live in the GU22 and GU24 postcode areas, while the school is in the RH6 9QA area. This is a passenger transport service rather than a general vehicle supply contract, and is intended to provide reliable, individualised journeys for children travelling to school. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a local public authority. Businesses relevant to this requirement are operators able to provide a suitable saloon vehicle and manage regular home-to-school journeys for two SEND pupils, including the route between their residential areas and Aurora Redehall School.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. CandG Cars Ltd, a Guildford-based small business, was selected as the supplier for the single service requirement. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £11,932,000, inclusive of applicable taxes, and the contract is active. The award covers transport services classified under CPV 60000000. The published process identifies Surrey County Council as both buyer and contracting authority. The procurement used a limited method rather than an open competition, and the tender itself has reached complete status.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport, delivered on a defined school route and for a small number of pupils. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to operate suitable saloon vehicles, provide dependable scheduled journeys and have the capacity to maintain service continuity throughout the school term and contract period. Local knowledge of the Guildford and Woking-area postcode districts and the route to Aurora Redehall School would be commercially useful. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that this scale of specialist transport can be delivered by a smaller operator rather than only by a national fleet business. Passenger transport firms with comparable SEND experience are therefore the closest fit.
