Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for Walton Leigh school under its SEND client transport requirement. The service covers three pupils, including one wheelchair user, and requires a wheelchair-accessible vehicle. It also includes transport support from one personal assistant with awareness of feeding tubes. The pupils live in the KT8 and KT12 postcode areas, so the work is associated with journeys serving those locations and the school. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or general taxi requirement. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement is focused on safe, accessible school transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ANGEL CARS (WOKING) LTD. The award date was 13 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with an awarded value of £174,800 gross. The procurement used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It comprised one lot for transport services and the tender is recorded as complete. The successful supplier is based in Woking. The published outcome identifies the award and an active contract, with no cancellation or termination recorded. The evaluation basis was the limited competition process used by Surrey County Council.

This requirement demonstrates demand for specialist SEND school transport serving Surrey County Council and gives competitors a clear picture of the capability expected. A credible supplier would need to provide a wheelchair-accessible vehicle and deliver reliable passenger transport for a small group of pupils, including someone who travels in a wheelchair. The service also requires a personal assistant who understands feeding tubes, so operational planning must cover appropriate passenger support as well as driving. Relevant experience in accessible education or community transport, trained staff, suitable vehicles and the capacity to serve journeys linked to the KT8 and KT12 postcode areas would strengthen a future response. The completed award indicates that a small, focused transport operation can meet this type of requirement through a limited competition.
