UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel to Oak Lodge School. The requirement covers transport for one student, with no personal assistant, using one saloon car with four passenger seats. The student’s location is in Aldershot, GU12, and the school is in London, SW12, so the service involves travel between Surrey and south-west London. The procurement is for passenger transport services rather than vehicle supply, with the vehicle and journey arranged to meet an individual school transport need. The named public-sector buyer is Surrey County Council, whose address is in Reigate. The requirement sits within the council’s wider Client Transport Services programme for SEND pupils.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to CandG Cars Ltd, which has an active contract. The award was made on 6 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £12,084,000 gross, including the stated currency of GBP. The procurement used the light-touch regime and a limited procedure. The award covers transport services for the single SEND school journey described above. The available outcome records identify CandG Cars Ltd as the selected supplier for the awarded requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport between Aldershot and Oak Lodge School in London. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable passenger transport for an individual pupil, operate a suitable saloon with four passenger seats, and manage the journey without a personal assistant requirement. Relevant capability includes understanding school transport arrangements, dependable daily scheduling, safe travel for a SEND passenger, and the operational capacity to cover a cross-county route throughout the school service period. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller local transport business rather than only a large fleet operator.
