UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for four pupils attending Hopescourt School in Walton-on-Thames. The pupils are based in Epsom and Esher, so the requirement covers transport between those locations and the school. The service is for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport, using one small multi-purpose vehicle with five passenger seats. No personal assistant is required. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract, and would suit operators able to provide reliable, appropriately managed journeys for school-age passengers with SEND requirements. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, with delivery centred on Walton-on-Thames and routes involving Epsom and Esher.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Angel Cars Limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 5 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The active contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross value is £9,870,714. One requirement was awarded as a single lot, covering the transport service for Hopescourt School and four students. The published outcome identifies Angel Cars Limited as the selected supplier. The contract is below the applicable threshold, and the procurement category is services. The process has therefore moved beyond tendering into contract delivery.

This award shows substantial demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport linking schools with pupils’ home areas. Competitors seeking similar work would need to operate small passenger vehicles, provide five-seat capacity, and plan dependable routes between Epsom, Esher and Walton-on-Thames. They would also need experience of transporting school-age passengers with SEND-related needs, with suitable safeguarding, journey management and service reliability arrangements. The absence of a required personal assistant indicates that the transport operator is expected to provide the vehicle and driving service without a separate passenger assistant for this requirement. Angel Cars Limited is recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller specialist operator can satisfy this type of council requirement.
