UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) passenger transport for The Abbey School. The service covers four passengers travelling from Guildford and requires a medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle. A personal assistant is required to support the route. The work is a managed passenger transport service rather than a vehicle-only supply, with responsibility for safely transporting school clients and providing the specified passenger support. Delivery is centred on journeys from Guildford to The Abbey School, serving Surrey County Council’s education transport needs. The requirement falls within transport services, covering the operation and support of the passenger journey for this identified school route.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ANGEL CARS (WOKING) LTD. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 14 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £158,840 gross. One requirement was awarded as a single lot, covering the transport service for the four passengers. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier and confirms that the contract is active; the procurement record does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or additional award criteria.

This procurement demonstrates sustained council demand for dedicated SEND school transport on a defined Surrey route. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need a suitable medium MPV, the operational capacity to carry four passengers from Guildford, and the ability to provide a personal assistant where the route requires one. Credibility would also depend on reliable daily school transport operations, safe passenger handling and effective route management. A local or regional operator able to work with Surrey County Council and support journeys to The Abbey School would be aligned with this requirement. The award shows the council’s preferred route to market was a below-threshold limited competition for a focused transport service.
