Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport for one disabled child travelling to and from Disability Challengers Farnham. The service covers Tuesdays and Thursdays, with transport arranged between two home addresses on alternate weeks. The requirement is for one passenger travelling in a saloon car with a Passenger Assistant. The passenger has epilepsy, so the service includes following the 999 emergency protocol and completing Seizure Awareness training. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, general fleet management or construction work. The procurement sits within the council’s SEND transport provision and was designed around a specific individual’s short-term travel schedule.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. ANGEL CARS (WOKING) LTD was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 9 September 2026. The contract runs from 10 September 2026 to 17 September 2026, with a possible slight extension that is not guaranteed. Its value is £420 gross. The award covers one completed lot for transport services. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process; the published information also identifies the passenger transport classification. This is a completed award outcome, not an invitation to submit a bid.

This procurement indicates demand for small-scale, highly tailored SEND transport rather than a high-volume school bus operation. A credible competitor would need to provide a suitable saloon car, a trained Passenger Assistant and reliable service on fixed Tuesdays and Thursdays, while accommodating journeys between changing home addresses on alternate weeks. Capability to transport a single passenger safely is central. Suppliers would also need staff who can complete and apply Seizure Awareness training and follow the 999 protocol for epilepsy-related emergencies. Experience of disability transport, safeguarding, punctual home-to-destination journeys and working to individual schedules would strengthen a future response to this buyer’s requirement. The short, specific service pattern also favours operators able to deploy vehicles and trained staff flexibly.
