Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured a passenger transport service for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) school travel. The requirement covers transport for one student between Addlestone and Woking College in Woking. The journey starts in Addlestone, postcode area KT15, and ends at the college in Woking, postcode area GU22. The service is for one student, with no passenger assistant required, using a saloon car with four passenger seats. This is a local education transport requirement rather than a general bus, fleet or logistics service. It would suit a passenger transport operator able to provide individual school journeys in and around Addlestone and Woking, with a suitable four-seat saloon vehicle and capacity for the specified student journey.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It was evaluated as a services requirement and divided into one lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to AZ Cars Woking Ltd on 4 September 2026. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026 and is active from 10 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £17,588.57, including the stated amount in pounds sterling. The selected supplier is AZ Cars Woking Ltd. The award relates to the single SEND school transport requirement for Woking College and covers the journey between Addlestone and Woking for one student.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined local market for individual SEND school transport commissioned by Surrey County Council. The requirement is small-scale and focused: one student, no passenger assistant, and a saloon vehicle with four passenger seats serving Addlestone and Woking College. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would therefore need to operate a suitable saloon car, have practical capacity for a regular school journey, and be able to serve the Addlestone–Woking area reliably. Operators with direct experience of student transport and the ability to deliver carefully specified, one-passenger journeys would be well placed to address this buyer’s comparable needs.
