Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for four passengers travelling to Woking High School under its SEND transport requirement. The service is a small MPV journey from Guildford to Woking, covering passenger transport rather than vehicle supply or infrastructure works. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer, based in Reigate. The requirement concerns the transport of children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities to school, so suppliers need to understand the practical demands of planned passenger journeys to an education setting. The relevant service category is transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). The awarded requirement covers one defined route and passenger group.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, CandG Cars Ltd, was selected for the single lot. The award was made on 5 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £8,360,000 gross, with the amount stated in GBP. The tender used the light-touch regime and was below the applicable threshold. The contract title describes the wider programme as Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND, while this awarded requirement is the Guildford-to-Woking small-MPV journey for four passengers travelling to Woking High School.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for specialist school transport delivered as a defined passenger route. A credible future competitor would be a small or larger passenger transport operator able to provide and manage a small MPV, carry four SEND passengers safely and reliably, and operate the Guildford-to-Woking journey to Woking High School. Relevant capability includes dependable vehicle availability, route planning, punctual school-day operations and staff able to work appropriately with passengers with special educational needs and disabilities. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused local operator rather than only a large transport group. Businesses with comparable SEND transport experience and suitable vehicles should monitor this buyer’s future requirements.
