UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for two passengers with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travelling to St Dominics School. The requirement is for a saloon car service between locations in Godalming, supporting the passengers’ journeys into the school. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority responsible for arranging the service. The work is centred on Godalming and St Dominics School, with the journey described as Godalming to Godalming. The relevant service category is passenger transport services, covering the operation of the vehicle and delivery of the required school travel arrangement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to CandG Cars Ltd, a Guildford-based supplier. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 19 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £21,105.71 including the stated gross amount, in GBP. There was one completed lot covering the transport requirement, and one active award and contract. The process was limited rather than an open competition, so the selected supplier was chosen through a restricted competition managed by the council.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for a small, defined SEND school transport service using a saloon vehicle. A credible future competitor would need to provide passenger transport for two school passengers, operate reliably on the Godalming journey to St Dominics School, and manage a council requirement delivered through a below-threshold limited competition. The awarded supplier is an SME based in Guildford, indicating that a smaller local transport business can satisfy this scale of requirement. Relevant capability is therefore focused on suitable saloon-car provision, dependable school journey operations and the practical capacity to serve a small number of SEND passengers for Surrey County Council.
