Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned client transport services for Bramley Oak Academy, serving children and young people with special educational needs. The requirement covers weekday saloon-car journeys for two children: one travelling from Witley to the academy area in Godalming, and one from Godalming, with booster seats potentially required. The service is associated with transport services (CPV 60000000) and is delivered around Bramley Oak Academy, GU5 0BJ, with journeys originating in Witley and Godalming. The buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The arrangement is for dedicated education transport rather than general passenger transport, so relevant operators need to provide reliable, appropriately managed school journeys for children with additional needs.

This procurement is complete following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to CandG Cars Ltd, a Guildford-based SME, and the contract was signed on 6 August 2026. The contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and has a gross value of £2,545,714. The requirement covers transport on Mondays to Fridays, with the route due to start on 4 September 2026. The published procurement title describes a wider 2026–2034 client transport services programme, but the awarded contract period recorded here covers the 2026–2027 school year. The award is active and the contract is active.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need to operate saloon vehicles reliably on weekday school routes between Witley, Godalming and Bramley Oak Academy. They would need the practical capacity to transport two children, accommodate booster seats where required, and maintain dependable service throughout the school year. Experience in specialist education transport would help demonstrate an understanding of punctuality, safeguarding, communication with the school and families, and the needs of children with special educational needs. The award to a small Guildford operator shows that this requirement can suit an SME with local coverage, suitable vehicles and the operational resilience to manage recurring journeys for a public-sector education service.
