UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for six students attending Hopescourt School on Waterside Drive, Walton-on-Thames. The service covers pupils travelling from Egham, Virginia Water, Thorpe and Chertsey to the school. It requires one large multi-purpose vehicle with eight passenger seats and one passenger assistant trained in first aid and the administration of an epinephrine auto-injector. The planned passenger numbers vary during the initial service period: five students for part of September and six thereafter. This is a passenger transport service supporting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement is focused on safe, reliable daily transport between the named communities and the school.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ANGEL CARS (WOKING) LTD on 12 August 2026. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and is active from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £185,265.71 gross. The award covers transport services for the single SEND school route, including the vehicle and passenger assistant requirements described for the pupils. The published outcome identifies ANGEL CARS (WOKING) LTD as the selected supplier. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route, with the available information setting out the operational service specification rather than separate evaluation weightings.

This award shows a recurring requirement from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport linking communities around Woking, Egham, Virginia Water, Thorpe and Chertsey with a school in Walton-on-Thames. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a suitably sized eight-seat MPV, dependable scheduled transport and the operational capacity to manage changing passenger numbers. The service also calls for a passenger assistant with first-aid competence and the ability to administer an epinephrine auto-injector, so safeguarding, medical awareness and suitable staff training are central capabilities. Local knowledge of the route area, reliable attendance, child-focused transport procedures and experience supporting pupils with additional needs would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next tests the requirement.
