UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for a pupil attending Walton Leigh School under its special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport requirement. The service involves one pupil travelling alone, with transfers from a wheelchair into the vehicle seat, and one personal assistant for behaviour management. A large multi-purpose vehicle is required to provide sufficient space. Journeys serve two addresses in GU22 and RH9, with the pupil travelling between them on alternating days. The contracted transport activity is delivered in the Woking and Reigate areas. This is a passenger transport service rather than a general vehicle hire, school transport fleet supply or conventional bus operation.

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 and the contract signed on 18 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029 and is valued at £180,120 gross. It covers one completed lot for the Walton Leigh School transport requirement. The published outcome identifies ANGEL CARS (WOKING) LTD as the selected supplier. The service timetable requires weekday morning and afternoon journeys, including collections and returns to GU22 and RH9, with movements between the two addresses on alternating days.

This requirement demonstrates demand for reliable, closely managed SEND school transport for an individual passenger rather than high-volume route operation. A credible competitor would need suitable large MPV capacity, trained drivers able to support a passenger transferring from a wheelchair into a seat, and the ability to work safely with a personal assistant responsible for behaviour management. Operational strength would include dependable weekday morning and afternoon coverage, accurate adherence to a changing alternating-day timetable, and route planning between Woking-area and Reigate-area addresses. Local knowledge, contingency arrangements for a single-passenger service and experience transporting children or young people with additional needs would help a supplier meet this buyer’s requirements when a comparable need returns.
