Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for four passengers with special educational needs travelling to Gosden House. The requirement is for a medium MPV to provide transport from West Byfleet to Guildford. The work is passenger transport rather than vehicle supply, covering the planned journey to the school or service location and associated passenger travel. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer, based in Reigate. The procurement is classified as transport services, under CPV 60000000. The requirement was arranged as a single service package for this specified route, passenger group and vehicle type.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. GALAXY CARS was awarded the contract and signed it on 18 August 2026. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £77,389.29 including tax. The requirement was organised as one completed lot. The award covers the transport service for the four passengers travelling to Gosden House by medium MPV between West Byfleet and Guildford. The recorded award is active and the contract is active; no cancellation or termination is recorded.

This procurement shows a defined requirement for specialist passenger transport supporting children or young people with special educational needs, delivered on a regular route between West Byfleet and Guildford. A credible competitor for a future equivalent requirement would need to provide a medium MPV and reliably transport a small passenger group to Gosden House. The successful supplier was GALAXY CARS, an SME, indicating that the requirement was suitable for a smaller transport operator rather than only a large fleet business. Relevant capability is therefore focused on dependable route delivery, appropriate vehicle provision and the capacity to support Surrey County Council’s SEND transport needs.
