UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), under the Client Transport Services 2026–2034 programme. The requirement covers a school route to Wishmore, GU24 8NS, for one pupil from Camberley attending five days a week and another pupil from Camberley attending four days a week. The timetable includes both-way travel on Monday and Wednesday, afternoon travel on Tuesday, morning travel on Thursday, and travel on Friday. The service is to be provided in a saloon vehicle, with the school timetable potentially subject to review. The route is managed by Surrey County Council, with transport activity serving Camberley and Wishmore.

The procurement is complete and the single lot was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Charleys taxis limited was selected as supplier, with the award recorded as active. The award date and contract signing date were 3 August 2026. The active contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2028 and has a value of £4,374,857. The procurement used the light-touch regime and was classified as transport services. Pricing was requested by mileage per day, based on 19.34 miles on Monday and Wednesday, 18.16 miles on Tuesday, 19.55 miles on Thursday and 18.37 miles on Friday. The contract is below the relevant threshold.

This procurement shows recurring demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND pupil transport on a defined school timetable. A credible competitor would need to operate a suitable saloon vehicle and provide reliable weekday journeys for pupils travelling between Camberley and Wishmore. It would need to plan different travel patterns across the week, accommodate one pupil travelling five days weekly and another travelling four days weekly, and price journeys transparently by daily mileage. Operators should be able to manage a route whose school timetable may change, while maintaining dependable morning and afternoon coverage. Local taxi and private-hire businesses with appropriate vehicle availability, scheduling capacity and experience of structured school transport are the most relevant comparators.
