## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils travelling to Bramley Oak Academy, GU5 0BJ. The requirement covers weekday transport from Woking for three children: one child and a further two children, with the route serving Woking. Delivery requires a large eight-seat multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) and a passenger assistant to support the route. One of the children may require a high-back booster or booster seat. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract, and is suited to operators able to provide regular school journeys, appropriate passenger support and a suitable large MPV. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, serving the Surrey area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Surrey County Council awarded the single requirement to SM Cars, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £4,919,357 including tax. The requirement is classified as transport services. The award covers the full client transport service for the Bramley Oak Academy route, rather than multiple separately awarded lots. The published outcome records SM Cars as the active awarded supplier and the contract as active. The route was planned to start on 4 September 2026.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dependable SEND school transport linking Woking with a named academy. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need a large eight-seat MPV, the ability to provide weekday journeys and a passenger assistant for the route. It would also need to manage transport for children with differing support needs, including the safe use of a high-back booster or booster seat where required. Relevant operational strengths include reliable scheduling, consistent route delivery, suitable safeguarding arrangements for transporting children and the capacity to maintain a dedicated service throughout a school-year contract. The opportunity is particularly relevant to local or regional passenger transport operators already equipped for assisted school travel.
