Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for Heathermount School in Ascot under its SEND client transport requirement. The service covers one student travelling from Bookham, one from East Horsley and one from Guildford. It uses a saloon vehicle, with one student seated in the front and two in the rear, and does not require a passenger assistant. The work is a local passenger transport service, with journeys serving the stated Surrey locations and Ascot. The council is the buyer and public authority responsible for the requirement. The procurement concerns the operation of a specific student transport route rather than the supply of vehicles or general transport consultancy.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to ANGEL CARS (WOKING) LTD. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026, with a contract period from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its awarded value is £73,755 gross, including the stated value in GBP. The service was evaluated through the limited competition procedure. The requirement is for one defined SEND transport arrangement, and the award covers the transport services associated with the Heathermount School route. The contract is recorded as active, while the tender itself is complete.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dependable, route-specific SEND school transport delivered by a local passenger transport operator. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need access to a suitable saloon vehicle and the operational capacity to carry three students in the specified seating arrangement, with one passenger in the front and two in the rear. It would also need to plan and deliver journeys connecting Bookham, East Horsley and Guildford with Heathermount School in Ascot. The absence of a passenger assistant requirement indicates that the transport operation itself is the central capability. Suppliers already serving Surrey school or assisted passenger routes may find this buyer and requirement type commercially relevant.
