UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covered weekday transport to Bramley Oak Academy, Guildford, for two children travelling from Staines-upon-Thames. The service required a small multi-purpose vehicle (MPV); one passenger may require a booster seat. The work involved operating the specified school transport route between the Staines-upon-Thames area and Bramley Oak Academy, whose postcode is GU5 0BJ. This was a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a local government authority. The procurement concerned a single defined route and transport requirement rather than a broad fleet or network service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. CandG Cars Ltd, a Guildford-based SME, was selected as supplier. The award was made on 6 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract value is £329,929 gross, including any applicable taxes, in GBP. The contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2027. The service was arranged as one lot covering the single SEND transport requirement. The contract starts with the route on Friday 4 September 2026. The published outcome records an active award and an active contract; no cancellation or termination is recorded.

This requirement demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for reliable, child-focused SEND passenger transport delivered on a regular school-week schedule. Suppliers well placed to compete for a future requirement of this type would have access to a suitable small MPV, experienced drivers able to transport children safely, and the operational discipline to provide dependable Monday-to-Friday route coverage. Capability to accommodate a booster seat and to manage individual passenger needs would be relevant. Local knowledge of the Staines-upon-Thames and Guildford areas, including the route to Bramley Oak Academy, would support credible delivery. The procurement also shows that a smaller local transport business can win this type of council service through a limited below-threshold competition.
