UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for three pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), travelling to St John the Baptist School at the Aquinas Centre. The requirement is for a saloon car service between West Byfleet and Woking, with journeys timed around the school day rather than the main school timetable. The work falls within transport services and is for the council as the public authority buyer. It concerns individual client transport rather than a general bus or public transport operation, so suppliers need to be able to provide reliable, planned journeys for a very small passenger group and accommodate school-specific timings. The service is associated with the school journey between the named Surrey locations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded separately to AZ Cars Woking Ltd. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £20,787.86. The award covers transport services for the three SEND pupils travelling by saloon car to St John the Baptist School at the Aquinas Centre. The published outcome identifies Surrey County Council as the buyer and AZ Cars Woking Ltd as the selected supplier. The procurement used a limited method rather than an open competition, and the available outcome information records the completed lot and active contract.

For a competing supplier, this award demonstrates a focused local requirement for SEND school transport serving a small number of pupils on a defined West Byfleet–Woking route. A credible provider would need suitable saloon-car capacity, dependable daily availability and the operational discipline to meet school-day timings that differ from the main school timetable. Experience transporting children or vulnerable passengers, careful journey planning and consistent communication with the council and school would support a strong position when comparable work is considered. The requirement is suited to an established private-hire, taxi or specialist passenger-transport business able to deliver a personal, reliable service rather than high-volume vehicle operations. Familiarity with safeguarding expectations and SEND passenger needs would also be commercially relevant.
