Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement was to carry five passengers into Gosden House School, with a passenger assistant, using a large MPV. The specified journey was from Woking to Woking, so delivery is local to the Woking area in Surrey. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or general haulage contract. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The service combines suitable vehicle provision, planned passenger journeys and passenger-assistant support for travel to school. The relevant classification is CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Surrey Auto Travel. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 25 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its gross value is £103,851.43. There was one completed lot covering the single SEND transport requirement. The award covers the transport service for five passengers travelling to Gosden House School with a passenger assistant, using a large MPV. The recorded outcome is an active award and active contract; no separate price or quality scoring basis is recorded.

This award is a useful signal for operators providing specialist school transport in Surrey, particularly businesses able to run large MPV journeys for small passenger groups and provide a passenger assistant. Credible future suppliers would need to demonstrate dependable local routing around Woking, consistent school-run operation and the practical ability to support children and young people with SEND. The requirement also favours operators able to coordinate vehicle and passenger-assistant provision as one managed service, rather than supplying transport alone. Surrey Auto Travel is recorded as an SME, indicating that this type of work can be delivered by a smaller local operator. Experience in comparable education or assisted passenger transport would help establish operational credibility when this requirement is next considered.
