UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport services for three passengers with special educational needs and disabilities travelling to Guildford College. The requirement is for a saloon car service from Addlestone to Guildford, covering the passenger journey into the college. This is a local authority transport service rather than a general vehicle supply contract, and falls within the transport services category. The council is the buying organisation, with the service centred on the route between Addlestone and Guildford and the destination at Guildford College. The requirement relates to individual client transport and is intended to provide regular, suitable journeys for the named passenger group. Businesses operating accessible, reliable passenger transport services in Surrey and the surrounding area would find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected Brookwood Cars and Taxis for the single lot. The award was made on 4 September 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £30,271.43 including tax. The contract covers the saloon transport service for three passengers travelling from Addlestone to Guildford College. This was conducted under the light-touch regime using a limited procurement method. The award relates to transport services and the process is recorded as complete, with the contract currently active. No separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis is stated in the procurement details.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for small-scale, scheduled SEND passenger transport on a defined Surrey education route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a suitable saloon vehicle, dependable journey planning and consistent day-to-day service for a small number of passengers travelling to college. Relevant capability includes operating passenger transport between Addlestone and Guildford, meeting the practical needs of passengers with special educational needs and disabilities, and maintaining reliable communication with the council and passengers. Local knowledge, sufficient driver and vehicle capacity, and the ability to sustain the service throughout an education-term contract would be commercially relevant. The limited-competition route also indicates that smaller, focused operators may be suited to this type of council transport requirement.
