UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers enhanced-needs transport provided by taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with between one and eight passenger seats, together with a passenger assistant. It is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The procurement was for Lot 2 of the council’s wider Client Transport Services programme. The named buying organisation is Surrey County Council. The selected provider, Angel Cars (Woking) Ltd, is based in Woking, indicating a local transport operator was appointed for this requirement. The service is intended to support assisted travel for SEND clients, with passenger assistance forming part of the operating model.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier was selected for Lot 2: Angel Cars (Woking) Ltd. The award was made on 11 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £45,485.71, inclusive of the stated gross amount. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement used the light-touch regime and was classified as a services requirement. The available outcome records identify the awarded lot, supplier, contract period and value; they do not set out a separate quality, price or scoring breakdown.

This requirement is commercially relevant to operators able to deliver assisted passenger transport for SEND clients using taxis or MPVs with up to eight passenger seats. A credible competitor would need suitable vehicles, reliable scheduling and dispatch, and the ability to provide a passenger assistant alongside the driver. Experience of transporting children or other passengers with additional needs would be directly relevant to the service model, as would robust safeguarding, communication and journey-management arrangements. Local knowledge and the operational capacity to provide dependable, assisted journeys would strengthen a supplier’s position. The award also shows that Surrey County Council uses a below-threshold limited competition route for this type of specialist transport service, so operators should be prepared to respond to focused competitions rather than only large open tenders.
