UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport for one student with special educational needs attending Woodfield School. The service covers travel between the student’s location in Guildford (GU1) and the school in Redhill (RH1). The requirement is for one saloon car with four passenger seats and no personal assistant. This is a passenger transport service for a defined school journey, rather than a wider school transport operation or vehicle supply contract. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The work involves providing the vehicle and transport service needed to convey the student between home and school safely and reliably.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It used the light-touch regime and comprised one completed lot. CandG Cars Ltd, a Guildford-based SME, received the award on 3 September 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £30,171.43 gross. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition process for transport services. The awarded service is active, while the tender is recorded as complete. The contract title is Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND, covering the Woodfield School journey described above.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for small-scale, dedicated SEND school transport between Guildford and Redhill. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would be able to provide a suitable four-passenger-seat saloon, undertake a regular home-to-school journey, and manage dependable passenger transport for a child with special educational needs. A local operating base or practical coverage of Guildford and Redhill would be commercially relevant because the journey links those places. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of defined route can be delivered by a smaller transport business rather than only a large fleet operator. Relevant capability is focused on vehicle availability, reliable scheduling and appropriate SEND transport delivery.
