UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for three passengers with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), travelling to St Joseph’s School. The requirement covers a passenger-assisted journey from Woking to Cranleigh, using a large multi-purpose vehicle. The service is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer and the work is delivered on the specified Woking-to-Cranleigh route in Surrey. The requirement is focused on safe, supported school transport rather than general passenger transport, making it relevant to licensed taxi, private-hire, minibus and specialist education-transport operators with suitable vehicles and passenger-assistance capability.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Brookwood Cars and Taxis following a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 21 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £56,914.29 including tax. There was one completed lot covering the single transport requirement. The process used the light-touch regime and limited competition, with the requirement described as a 2026–2034 SEND service. TUPE applies, and the procurement information refers to an attached TUPE document. The awarded supplier is Brookwood Cars and Taxis, based in Woking.

This award demonstrates a defined local demand for recurring SEND school transport on a Woking-to-Cranleigh route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a large MPV, transport three passengers and supply a passenger assistant for journeys to St Joseph’s School. Operators would also need to understand and manage TUPE obligations, including the implications of transferring affected staff under the existing service arrangements. Local operating knowledge, reliable school-run scheduling and the ability to maintain consistent assisted transport would be important strengths. The award route also shows that Surrey County Council has used a below-threshold limited competition for this focused, single-route service, rather than a large multi-lot transport framework.
