Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for three pupils attending Fox Grove school under its special educational needs and disabilities transport requirement. The service uses one medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle with seven passenger seats and includes one passenger assistant. The transport is for pupils living in the TW19, TW15 and TW18 postcode areas, with journeys associated with Fox Grove school. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract, and is relevant to operators able to provide safe, reliable school transport for children with additional needs. The requirement is managed by Surrey County Council, a public authority serving Surrey, with the awarded supplier based in Woking.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It used a light-touch regime and consisted of one lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to ANGEL CARS (WOKING) LTD on 12 August 2026. The contract is active, signed on the same date, and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £181,640 gross, below the applicable threshold. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the published outcome identifies passenger transport services as the procurement category. The award covers the complete Fox Grove school transport requirement, including the vehicle and passenger-assistant provision for the three pupils.

This procurement demonstrates a defined, recurring need for contracted SEND school transport from Surrey County Council. A credible future competitor would need to operate a suitable seven-seat-or-larger MPV, provide dependable scheduled journeys for three pupils, and supply a passenger assistant as part of the service. Experience transporting children with special educational needs and disabilities would be directly relevant, alongside robust safeguarding, driver and passenger-assistant arrangements, reliable attendance, and the operational capacity to maintain school journeys throughout the service requirement. Local knowledge of the areas around Fox Grove school and the pupils’ homes would support efficient delivery. Passenger transport operators serving Surrey and nearby communities are the most closely aligned supplier profile.
