UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured passenger transport services for one passenger travelling to Treloar’s School, with a passenger assistant. The requirement is for a wheelchair-accessible eight-seater vehicle operating from Ashtead to Alton. This is a specialist school transport service supporting a passenger with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The work is a transport service rather than vehicle supply, and requires delivery along the specified journey between Surrey and Hampshire. The council is the public-sector buyer and the service is associated with its client transport provision. The selected requirement covers a single transport route and passenger arrangement, including the vehicle, assisted travel and the practical operation of the journey.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Karens Angels through a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 26 August 2026. One completed lot was awarded, with an active contract running from 9 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. The contract value is £68,271.43 including tax, in GBP. The procurement used the light-touch regime and falls within transport services. The award covers the full requirement for the specified route and passenger arrangement. The published outcome identifies Karens Angels as the successful supplier; no separate award values are stated. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for accessible, assisted SEND school transport on a regular route. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would have a wheelchair-accessible eight-seat vehicle, the operational capacity to provide reliable journeys between Ashtead and Alton, and staff able to support a passenger travelling with a passenger assistant. Relevant experience would include accessible passenger transport, school or client transport, and safe service delivery for children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities. A credible provider would also need to coordinate vehicle, driver and passenger-assistance arrangements consistently for a single dedicated route. The award shows that Surrey County Council uses a limited-competition route for this type of below-threshold transport service.
