Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for five passengers with special educational needs and disabilities travelling to St Dominic’s. The requirement covers a journey between Guildford and Godalming using a large multi-purpose vehicle, with a passenger assistant on board. The passenger assistant must have diabetes awareness. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract, with delivery focused on the route between the named Surrey locations and the school. The council is the public-sector buyer and the service is intended to support safe, assisted travel for the specified passengers. Suppliers operating accessible or suitable large-vehicle transport, with trained passenger assistants able to support passengers with additional needs, are the relevant market.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ANGEL CARS (WOKING) LTD on 18 August 2026. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One completed lot covered the transport service. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £166,440 including tax, and the award is below the applicable threshold. The published outcome identifies Angel Cars as the selected supplier. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available outcome records the completed procurement and award, but does not set out individual scoring criteria or weightings.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from Surrey County Council for planned SEND passenger transport on defined local routes, combining vehicle provision with assisted travel. A credible future competitor would need reliable operational capacity for a large MPV, the ability to transport five passengers consistently, and passenger assistants trained to provide appropriate support, including diabetes awareness. Experience of SEND transport, safeguarding, passenger care and working to school arrival and collection requirements would strengthen a supplier’s position, although the award data does not identify specific accreditations. Businesses in or able to operate around Woking, Guildford and Godalming may be well placed because the selected supplier is based in Woking and the service is geographically focused. The contract’s multi-year scale also indicates the need for dependable continuity rather than occasional journeys.
