UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialised transport services for three students attending West Hill Primary School. The requirement supports children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), travelling between their homes in Woking and the school in Leatherhead. The awarded service uses one small multi-purpose vehicle with five passenger seats and does not include a passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a public authority based in Reigate, and the service is associated with delivery in the Woking and Leatherhead areas. The requirement is focused on transporting a small number of pupils on a defined school journey rather than providing general fleet, taxi or wider passenger transport services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Tunsgate Cars Ltd, an SME based in Woking. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and has a value of £105,540.71 including gross value in GBP. The contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029 and is active. The award covers the transport service for the three West Hill Primary School students, using the specified small MPV. The process was limited rather than open, so the outcome reflects a restricted competition managed by Surrey County Council. The published procurement title describes the wider service period as 2026 to 2034, while this awarded contract period ends in July 2029.

This procurement demonstrates a defined, recurring need for specialist school transport in Surrey, with a relatively small passenger group and a clear school-to-home geography. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would be established passenger transport operators able to provide a small MPV with five passenger seats and reliably support journeys between Woking and Leatherhead. A local base in or near these areas could help with operational coverage, vehicle availability and dependable school-day service. The winning supplier was an SME, showing that this type of requirement can suit a focused local operator rather than only a large transport company. Businesses considering future work for Surrey County Council should be able to demonstrate suitable vehicles, dependable scheduling and experience delivering contracted passenger transport for pupils.
