## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Castle Garden School, supporting four passengers with special educational needs. The route serves three passengers from Addlestone and one from Ottershaw. The requirement is for a medium-sized MPV, with a passenger assistant (PA) to support the route. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle-only hire requirement: the provider is expected to supply suitable transport and PA support for the school journey. The work is delivered around Castle Garden School and the specified passenger collection areas in Addlestone and Ottershaw, Surrey. The relevant service category is transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). Surrey County Council is the buying organisation and the requirement was treated as a light-touch public service procurement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to GALAXY CARS through a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 18 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its gross and stated contract value is £107,346.43. One lot was awarded, covering the complete route requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The process used a limited procurement method under the light-touch regime. The published title describes the wider requirement as Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND, although the awarded contract period is shorter and ends on 31 July 2028. GALAXY CARS is the selected supplier.

This procurement indicates recurring demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated school transport for children and young people with special educational needs. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this kind would be passenger transport operators able to provide a reliable medium-sized MPV and a suitable passenger assistant as part of the service. Credibility would depend on managing a defined school route, collecting passengers from Addlestone and Ottershaw, and supporting four passengers consistently. The award to GALAXY CARS, recorded as an SME, shows that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist transport business rather than only a large fleet operator. Relevant capability therefore includes school or assisted passenger transport, route planning, dependable daily operations and staff able to provide appropriate passenger support.
