UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured passenger transport services for Castle Garden School’s special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport requirement. The service covers two passengers, both travelling from Egham, and requires a saloon car for the route. The work is local to Surrey, with the stated passenger origin in Egham and the destination at Castle Garden School. This is a service requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project, and is suited to businesses providing managed car transport for school or education-related journeys. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, the local government buyer responsible for arranging the service.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to GALAXY CARS. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 18 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £28,067.14 including tax. The contract is for one completed lot covering the route and service described. The awarded supplier is GALAXY CARS, based in Woking. The procurement was treated as a light-touch services procedure, and the recorded service category is transport services excluding waste transport.

This award demonstrates a defined local demand for SEND school transport: two passengers travelling from Egham to Castle Garden School in a saloon car. A competitor seeking similar work from Surrey County Council would need to provide reliable passenger transport for education journeys, operate an appropriate saloon vehicle and organise a consistent route for a small number of passengers. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement can be delivered by an SME rather than only a large transport operator. Relevant credibility would therefore come from dependable day-to-day service, suitable vehicle capacity and experience managing school passenger routes.
