UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured a dedicated school transport service for one pupil travelling from Hurst Green, Oxted, to Disability Challengers in Guildford. The requirement is for a medium-sized multipurpose vehicle, with travel on Wednesdays and Fridays. The pupil is to sit in the rear row, while a passenger assistant or chaperone sits in the middle row. A male passenger assistant is required to support behaviour management and safeguarding. The vehicle must accommodate this seating arrangement and allow a harness to be fitted safely in line with the manufacturer’s guidance. The service is part of Surrey’s SEND client transport provision and falls within passenger transport services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to ANGEL CARS (WOKING) LTD. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 28 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a gross value of £25,535.71. It covers one completed lot. Evaluation details are not stated, but the requirement included a medium MPV, travel twice weekly, a male passenger assistant and safe harness provision. The family requested a meet-and-greet before transport began, between 6 and 8 September 2026.

This award demonstrates demand for specialised SEND transport from Surrey County Council at the level of an individual pupil route, rather than a large group service. A credible future supplier would need to operate a suitable medium MPV, provide reliable twice-weekly school transport and support the specified seating arrangement. The operator would also need a male passenger assistant able to manage behavioural needs and maintain safeguarding arrangements for the pupil and crew. Practical competence in transporting children with disabilities, coordinating with families and education settings, and safely accommodating a passenger harness would be important. The requirement also shows the value of being able to arrange introductions before transport starts and manage equipment supplied or loaned by the family.
