Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers transporting two passengers to Gosden House, using a saloon vehicle, on the route from Addlestone to Guildford. The procurement is for the council’s client transport service and involves scheduled journeys to the named education setting. The service category is passenger transport, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). Delivery is centred on the Addlestone-to-Guildford journey and Gosden House. This is a focused, small-scale transport requirement rather than a broad fleet, network or general facilities contract, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide reliable saloon-car journeys for SEND passengers on a specified route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used one lot. County Cabs Limited was awarded the contract on 14 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028, with a gross value of £58,416.43. Surrey County Council is the buyer. The award covers the transport service for the two passengers travelling to Gosden House. The published outcome records County Cabs Limited as the selected supplier, an SME based in Woking. The procurement was run under the light-touch regime. The available outcome data identifies the limited-competition route but does not set out separate quality or price weightings.

This award shows a defined requirement for an established passenger transport operator serving Surrey, with the ability to provide a saloon vehicle for two SEND passengers on a regular education journey. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need dependable local coverage between Addlestone and Guildford, operational capacity for the specified journey, and the ability to maintain consistent service to Gosden House. County Cabs Limited’s selection demonstrates that an SME-scale provider can satisfy this buyer’s focused transport need through a limited competition. Businesses monitoring this type of work should therefore assess their availability of suitable saloon vehicles, route knowledge, driver and passenger-support arrangements, and capacity to deliver a small number of recurring SEND journeys reliably.
