Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers four passengers travelling to Burpham Primary School, with a passenger assistant provided as part of the service. The vehicle requirement is a medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle. The stated journey is from Woking to Guildford, placing delivery in the Surrey area. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract: the successful provider is expected to operate the journeys and provide the passenger-assistance element. The procurement is for one defined transport requirement under Surrey County Council’s wider client transport services programme.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, ANGEL CARS (WOKING) LTD, was selected. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £117,800 gross, with no separate lot values reported. The contract is active and the award covers the single requirement for transport into Burpham Primary School. The procurement uses the light-touch regime and is categorised as transport services. The published outcome identifies the supplier and contract terms, but does not provide a separate scoring breakdown or stated evaluation weighting.

This procurement indicates recurring demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND transport combining vehicle operation with passenger assistance. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide a medium MPV, accommodate four passengers, operate reliably between Woking and Guildford, and supply a passenger assistant for school journeys. Local knowledge of the Surrey route and the operational capacity to deliver a regular education transport service would be commercially relevant. The awarded contract also shows that the council uses a below-threshold limited competition for an individual transport requirement, so suppliers should be prepared to respond efficiently to focused competitions rather than only large, multi-route tenders.
