UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for four pupils attending Fox Grove school under its special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport requirement. The service is for pupils living in the GU21 and GU22 postcode areas, around Woking. It requires a medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle with seven passenger seats and one passenger assistant to accompany the pupils. The passenger assistant must watch an online video explaining the correct use of an EpiPen. The procurement is for passenger transport services rather than vehicle supply, and is managed by Surrey County Council as the public-sector buyer. The requirement is focused on safe, supervised school transport for a small group of pupils, including provision for an appropriate vehicle and accompanying staff.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to ANGEL CARS (WOKING) LTD. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded, with a contract value of £153,520 including gross value stated in GBP. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The recorded tender status is complete and the contract status is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition route; the available award information identifies passenger transport services as the procurement category. The selected supplier is based in Woking, and the contract covers transport for the Fox Grove school SEND requirement.

This procurement indicates a defined local market for managed SEND school transport in Surrey, particularly around Woking and the GU21 and GU22 postcode areas. A credible competing supplier would need to operate a suitable seven-seat passenger vehicle, provide reliable scheduled transport for pupils, and supply a passenger assistant capable of supervising children safely. Staff would need to complete the required EpiPen-use training video, so providers should be able to manage basic safety and safeguarding-related instructions as part of service delivery. Local operating capacity, dependable drivers and assistants, and experience delivering assisted passenger or school transport would strengthen a future response. The requirement also shows that a small, focused transport operator can meet this type of council service need through a limited competition.
