## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for a child or young person travelling to Bramley Grange Academy. The requirement covers a journey from Chertsey to Guildford, with a passenger assistant accompanying the passenger. The vehicle requirement is a large multi-purpose vehicle, making this a passenger transport service with additional support for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The work is for the council’s education-related transport provision and is delivered along the specified route between Chertsey and Guildford, with Bramley Grange Academy as the destination. The procurement falls within transport services, excluding waste transport. The named buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority responsible for arranging this client transport service.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used a limited procedure under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Tunsgate Cars Ltd. The award was active and the contract was signed on 19 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 July 2027, with a value of £58,100 gross. The evaluation outcome selected Tunsgate Cars Ltd for the SEND transport service described. The procurement was below the applicable threshold. The contract is active, and the award relates to the single requirement for transport to Bramley Grange Academy with a passenger assistant and a large MPV on the Chertsey-to-Guildford route.

This award shows a defined requirement for supported school transport rather than ordinary taxi or private-hire work. A credible future competitor would need to provide a large MPV, deliver reliable journeys between Chertsey and Guildford, and support a passenger travelling to Bramley Grange Academy. The requirement also calls for a passenger assistant, so suppliers need the operational capacity to provide suitable passenger support alongside driving. Experience delivering SEND or similarly assisted passenger transport would help demonstrate understanding of individual travel needs, safeguarding, punctuality and dependable communication with the council and school. Local knowledge of Surrey routes and the ability to maintain consistent service throughout the school-related operating period would also be commercially relevant when this council’s requirement returns.
