Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for Lakeside Primary School. The requirement covers transport for one student, with no passenger assistant, using one saloon car. The service is located in Camberley and falls within the wider category of passenger transport services. This is a single-school, individual-student transport requirement rather than a broad fleet or multi-route operation. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The work therefore concerns the safe, reliable provision of a dedicated school journey for a child, delivered by a suitably equipped and dependable transport operator serving Camberley and the surrounding area.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Camberley executive cars. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded, with an award value of £5,510,000 gross. The award date and contract signing date were 21 July 2026. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The contract covers the transport requirement for Lakeside Primary School in Camberley. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and confirms that the contract is active. The available procurement information records the route as limited competition; the requirement was evaluated through that competitive process.

This award is relevant to established private-hire, executive-car and specialist school-transport operators able to provide dependable child transport in Camberley. A credible competitor would need access to a suitable saloon car, a reliable driver and the operational discipline to deliver a consistent school journey for one student without a passenger assistant. The requirement shows that Surrey County Council buys highly focused transport arrangements, not only large school routes or fleet-based services. Suppliers with experience in scheduled education transport, safeguarding-conscious passenger handling, punctual daily operations and close communication with schools would be well placed when presenting a comparable service to this buyer. Local coverage is commercially important because the journey is tied to a named primary school and Camberley.
