UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured daily client transport services for six pupils attending The Park School in Woking. The requirement is for one large eight-seat MPV, operating Monday to Friday, with one pupil travelling from Walton-on-Thames, one from Hersham in Walton-on-Thames, two from Esher and two from Weybridge. This is a passenger transport service supporting special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel. The service covers the journeys to and from the school route associated with the requirement. The work is delivered around Woking, Walton-on-Thames, Hersham, Esher and Weybridge, within Surrey. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority responsible for arranging this education-related transport.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Tunsgate Cars Ltd, an SME based in Woking. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 11 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract value is £3,653.57 gross, in GBP. The active contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 2 September 2027. One lot was awarded, covering the complete transport requirement. The contract is for services classified under CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport. The tender was evaluated through the limited competition route; the published data does not set out separate quality or price weightings.

This award shows a defined requirement for an operator able to provide a large eight-seat MPV on a regular Monday-to-Friday school route for six pupils. Suppliers well placed for comparable Surrey County Council work would have suitable passenger vehicles, reliable weekday operating capacity and the ability to coordinate collections across Walton-on-Thames, Hersham, Esher and Weybridge for a school in Woking. Local or regional private-hire and passenger transport businesses may be credible competitors where they can cover the full route consistently rather than only individual journeys. Experience managing scheduled education transport, particularly journeys involving SEND pupils, would help demonstrate operational suitability, although the published requirement does not identify specific accreditations or qualifications.
