UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision. The requirement covers weekday transport for one pupil from Cranleigh to The Park School, GU22 7AT, using a saloon car. The service is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority in England. The route is a dedicated client transport arrangement rather than a general passenger transport service, with the journey linked to one pupil and one school. Suppliers working in school transport, SEND travel or contracted private-hire services would find the requirement relevant, particularly those able to provide reliable saloon-car journeys on a regular Monday-to-Friday route.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Galaxy Cars was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £84,201.43 including applicable taxes. The requirement was handled as a single lot covering the transport service, and the award was made for services. The contract is active. The underlying tender was titled Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND, although the awarded contract period ends in July 2029. The arrangement covers transport from Cranleigh to The Park School, GU22 7AT, on weekdays in a saloon car.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Surrey County Council for contracted, individualised SEND school transport rather than only large multi-passenger routes. A credible future supplier would need to provide a saloon vehicle and dependable Monday-to-Friday service for a pupil travelling from Cranleigh to a named school in the Woking area. Relevant experience would include scheduled school journeys, pupil transport and operating reliably on a fixed route over a school-year service period. The successful supplier, Galaxy Cars, is recorded as an SME, showing that this type of council requirement can be delivered by a smaller transport business. Local operators with suitable vehicles, reliable scheduling and capacity for consistent weekday provision are the closest fit.
