UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel under the title Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND. The requirement covers the Lift Wishmore route, transporting one pupil from Camberley and one pupil from Mytchett, Camberley, to the destination in the GU24 8NS area. The service uses a saloon car and operates from Monday to Friday. One pupil travels three days each week, on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday; the other travels five days each week. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The requirement is specific to Surrey County Council’s arranged education transport, with journeys beginning in the Camberley and Mytchett areas and serving the Lift Wishmore destination.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to James Cars on 3 August 2026. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded, with an active contract signed on 3 August 2026. The contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2027 and has a gross value of £206,814. The route requires pricing for different mileage: 27.37 miles on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, and 19.79 miles on Tuesday and Friday. The contracted service is scheduled for Monday to Friday, reflecting the two pupils’ different weekly travel patterns. The award covered transport services for the single stated route and was not divided between multiple suppliers.

This award indicates demand for a substantial, scheduled school transport operation involving SEND passengers, weekday reliability and a saloon vehicle. A credible competitor for a future requirement from Surrey County Council would need to provide consistent passenger transport from Camberley and Mytchett to the Lift Wishmore area, support different travel frequencies for individual pupils, and price journeys accurately against separate mileage patterns. Operational planning would need to cover three-day and five-day weekly schedules without disruption, including the longer Monday, Wednesday and Thursday journeys and shorter Tuesday and Friday journeys. Relevant providers are established transport businesses able to manage recurring council-arranged pupil journeys, maintain dependable weekday capacity, and deliver the specified route in a suitable saloon car.
