UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has contracted for enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service is taxi or MPV transport for groups of one to eight passengers, with a passenger assistant (PA) accompanying them. The requirement forms part of the council’s Client Transport Services programme and is intended to provide supported journeys for passengers with enhanced needs. The transport services are associated with Surrey County Council; the selected supplier is based in Woking. The published scope identifies the vehicle type, passenger capacity and PA requirement, but does not describe specific routes or individual passenger journeys.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to ANGEL CARS (WOKING) LTD. The contract was signed on 20 October 2026, with a term from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its stated value is £113,750 including tax. This is one lot within a limited-competition procedure below the applicable threshold, under the light-touch regime. The award is active and the contract is active. The published award information does not state the award date separately from the contract signature date, nor explain the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements. The awarded scope is the enhanced-needs taxi or MPV service with a passenger assistant; no separate award value is stated apart from the contract value.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need to provide taxis or MPVs that can carry up to eight passengers and supply passenger assistants to accompany people with enhanced needs. Experience delivering supported transport for children and young people with SEND would be directly relevant, alongside the operational ability to coordinate suitable vehicles and assistants for the council’s client transport service. The award shows Surrey County Council used limited competition for this below-threshold requirement and selected a Woking-based transport provider. Suppliers competing when a similar requirement returns should be prepared to demonstrate reliable local delivery and capacity to provide both transport and accompanying support, rather than vehicle provision alone. The published scope does not identify specific accreditations or formal experience thresholds.
