UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) journey to The Park School, Woking, postcode GU22 7AT. The service covers one pupil travelling from Cranleigh to the school, with transport required from Monday to Friday in a saloon car. The requirement is a local, individual passenger transport service rather than a wider fleet or school transport operation. Work is delivered between Cranleigh and The Park School in Woking. The procurement falls within transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000), and is intended to support the pupil’s regular attendance at school.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected Tunsgate Cars Ltd, a Woking-based SME, for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and is active from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross value is £87,235.71 including any applicable taxes, in GBP. The process used a limited procurement method under the light-touch regime. The published data identifies the successful supplier and the completed contract, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or award weighting. The requirement was evaluated within the limited-competition procedure.

This award shows a sustained council requirement for dependable, individual SEND school transport on a fixed local journey. A credible competitor would need to operate suitable saloon cars, provide weekday passenger transport, and cover the Cranleigh–Woking route consistently for a single pupil. Local knowledge of collection and school drop-off arrangements would be commercially useful, as would the capacity to maintain the service throughout the school year and respond reliably to operational changes. Tunsgate Cars Ltd’s SME status demonstrates that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller local transport business rather than only a large fleet operator. Taxi and private-hire operators with appropriate operating capacity are the closest fit.
