## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for Castle Garden School under its SEND client transport programme. The requirement is one route carrying six passengers: one from Haslemere, four from Godalming and one from Shalford. A large multi-purpose vehicle is required, with a passenger assistant (PA) accompanying the service. The PA must complete epilepsy awareness training. The work is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000, and is delivered for the school transport needs of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. This is a single-route requirement managed by Surrey County Council, based in Reigate, with journeys involving Haslemere, Godalming and Shalford.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Galaxy Cars was selected for the single requirement. The contract was signed and awarded on 18 August 2026, at a gross value of £197,600. It runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The procurement used a light-touch regime and a limited procedure. The award covers transport services for the Castle Garden School route, including the required vehicle and passenger assistant provision. The published outcome records the contract as active and the award as active. Surrey County Council is the buyer, and Galaxy Cars is the appointed supplier for this requirement.

This outcome demonstrates demand for a dedicated SEND school transport route serving six passengers across Haslemere, Godalming and Shalford. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to provide a large MPV reliably for school journeys, together with a suitable passenger assistant. Staff must be able to complete epilepsy awareness training, so providers should have robust arrangements for training, safeguarding and supporting passengers with additional needs. The requirement suits a small or specialist transport operator able to manage a regular, geographically defined route for a public authority. Experience delivering accessible or specialist passenger transport, dependable driver and PA cover, and effective coordination with the school and council would strengthen a competing offer when this type of requirement returns.
