UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers transport for five passengers travelling to Woking High School, using a medium-sized multipurpose vehicle. The stated journey is within Woking, from Woking to Woking. This is a passenger transport service rather than a supply of vehicles or general freight work. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation and the service is associated with its education transport responsibilities. The procurement falls within transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). The requirement was arranged as a single service package, with the council as buyer and CandG Cars Ltd as the selected supplier.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made to CandG Cars Ltd on 5 August 2026. The active contract was signed on the same date and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross and stated value is £8,208,000. The procurement used the light-touch regime and had one completed lot covering the transport service. The award relates to the full requirement: five passengers travelling to Woking High School in a medium MPV on the Woking-to-Woking route. The published evaluation basis is not set out in the available procurement details, but the outcome confirms that CandG Cars Ltd was selected for this service.

This award demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport, including school travel within Woking. Suppliers well placed for comparable requirements would have access to a medium MPV suitable for carrying five passengers and the operational capacity to provide reliable, repeated journeys to a named school. Relevant experience in contracted passenger transport and the ability to organise service delivery around education travel would strengthen a future competitor’s position. The successful supplier was identified as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller transport operator rather than only a national fleet business. Firms with local knowledge of Woking and dependable vehicle availability would be particularly relevant when this requirement returns to market.
