UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) passengers. The requirement covers one route serving two passengers: one travelling from Knaphill and one from Pirbright. A saloon car is required for the route, making this a small-scale passenger transport service rather than a general fleet or bus operation. The relevant service category is passenger transport services (CPV 60000000). The work is delivered around Knaphill and Pirbright in Surrey, with transport provided for the council’s SEND client transport provision. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to Old Woking Cars on 12 August 2026. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £50,677.50 including tax. The procurement used one completed lot covering the route, and the award is active. The process was conducted under the light-touch regime. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the published data does not state separate quality, price or other award weightings. The contract is below the relevant threshold.

This award shows a recurring requirement for dedicated SEND passenger transport on a defined local route, involving two passengers and a saloon car. Suppliers well placed for similar work would be established local private-hire, taxi or passenger transport operators able to provide a suitable saloon vehicle and reliable, planned journeys between Knaphill and Pirbright. Credibility would depend on dependable day-to-day service, capacity to cover the specified passengers and route, and an understanding of the additional care and safeguarding considerations associated with SEND transport. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the scale and delivery model can suit a focused local operator rather than only a large transport company.
