Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialised home-to-school transport services for children with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement covers weekday transport to Forest Bridge School, SL6 1BN, using a medium MPV for two children and an accompanying personal assistant. One child travels from Camberley and another from West End, Woking. The personal assistant arrangements support epilepsy seizure awareness and the 999 emergency protocol, as well as behaviour management. Drivers must communicate effectively with the children and school staff. The service includes arrival at school by 15:15, with a further 10 to 15 minutes allowed for transition and handover. The procurement is for transport services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Brookwood Cars and Taxis. The award was active and dated 21 August 2026. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026, runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, and is worth £52,553.57 including tax. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process. The contract covers the transport service for the Forest Bridge School route, including the medium MPV and passenger-support arrangements described in the requirement. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation and Brookwood Cars and Taxis is the selected supplier.

This procurement shows Surrey County Council’s demand for reliable, specialist passenger transport for children with SEND, including a medium MPV and a support person able to manage behavioural needs and epilepsy-related risks. A credible future supplier would need suitable vehicles, dependable weekday capacity and drivers experienced in transporting children with additional needs. Staff would need strong communication skills with pupils, personal assistants and school staff, together with practical understanding of seizure awareness, the 999 protocol and safe transitions at school. Experience coordinating defined routes from Camberley and West End, Woking to Forest Bridge School would strengthen a future response. The completed award also indicates that the council uses a below-threshold limited competition for this type of local transport requirement.
