Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for three passengers travelling to St Dominics school. The requirement is a saloon-car service for travel between Woking and Godalming, supporting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The work is a local passenger transport service rather than the supply of vehicles or general school transport. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation, and delivery takes place on the specified journey between Woking and Godalming, with St Dominics school as the destination. The procurement falls within transport services, covering the operation of the vehicle and the associated passenger journey. It is a single, completed requirement rather than a multi-lot programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CandG Cars Ltd, a Guildford-based supplier. The council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 18 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £30,354.29 including gross value, in GBP. One supplier was selected for the single requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded procurement category is services, and the transport services classification covers the requirement. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier and the agreed contract period and value.

This requirement indicates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated, small-scale SEND passenger transport on a defined local school journey. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have a suitable saloon vehicle, the capacity to transport three passengers reliably, and the ability to provide consistent journeys between Woking, Godalming and St Dominics school. Experience supporting passengers with special educational needs and disabilities would help demonstrate that the service can be delivered safely and appropriately. A local operator able to manage routine school travel, maintain dependable attendance and provide a suitable passenger service would be credible for this type of requirement. The award to an SME also shows that a smaller local transport business can satisfy the council’s needs through a limited competition route.
