UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured passenger transport services for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travelling to Bramley Oak Academy, Guildford, GU5 0BJ. The requirement covers a weekday, Monday-to-Friday route from Addlestone to the academy for two children. The vehicle required is a small multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). The journeys may require a booster seat for one child and a high-back booster or booster seat for the other. The work is therefore a specialist school transport service involving regular child passenger journeys between Addlestone and Bramley Oak Academy. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The relevant service classification is transport services, excluding waste transport.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to CandG Cars Ltd, a Guildford-based supplier, on 6 August 2026. The contract is valued at £3,205,714 gross and covers the period from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The contract is active. It relates to one completed lot for the SEND transport route. The procurement used a light-touch regime and a limited procedure, with competition restricted to invited suppliers. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and service requirement; it does not set out separate scored evaluation criteria or weightings. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026.

This award demonstrates substantial demand from Surrey County Council for recurring, dedicated SEND school transport delivered by a local small or medium-sized operator. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to provide a small MPV, operate reliable Monday-to-Friday journeys between Addlestone and Bramley Oak Academy, and accommodate two children on the specified route. Vehicle flexibility is important because the journeys may require either a booster seat or a high-back booster seat. The successful supplier was based in Guildford, indicating that local knowledge and the ability to serve Surrey routes are commercially relevant. Businesses with suitable vehicles, dependable scheduled-route operations and experience transporting children with differing seating requirements would be well placed when this buyer next needs the same service.
