UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured passenger transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) school journey. The requirement covers transport for one student, with no personal assistant, using a saloon car with four passenger seats. The student is located in Woking, around GU22, and the destination school is the Orpheus Centre in Godstone, around RH9. This is a local, individual student transport service rather than a general school transport operation. The work falls within transport services (CPV 60000000). Suppliers would need to provide suitable passenger transport between Woking and Godstone, with the vehicle capacity and service arrangements required for the student’s journey. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation and the service is for its SEND transport provision.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used the light-touch regime and was not divided into multiple awarded requirements beyond the single lot. Brookwood Cars and Taxis was awarded the contract on 21 August 2026. The active contract was signed on that date and runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £32,700 gross, in GBP. The stated requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available award information identifies the selected supplier and transport service but does not provide further evaluation weightings or scoring details. This outcome relates to one SEND transport service for the Orpheus Centre journey between Woking and Godstone.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for dedicated SEND passenger transport for individual school placements, including journeys between Woking and Godstone. A credible future supplier would need to operate reliable local transport, provide a suitable saloon vehicle with four passenger seats, and manage the needs of a single student without a personal assistant. Knowledge of the Woking and Godstone area would support dependable journey planning and day-to-day service delivery. Taxi and private-hire operators with capacity for regular education journeys, appropriate passenger-care procedures and experience transporting children or young people with SEND would be well placed. The small, focused requirement may suit an operator able to commit a vehicle and driver to a recurring school journey rather than a large fleet or broad transport network.
