UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport services for Hopescourt School in Walton-on-Thames, serving children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers six journeys with no personal assistant, using one large multipurpose vehicle with eight passenger seats. The school is on Waterside Drive, Walton-on-Thames, and the students’ locations are Egham and Staines-upon-Thames, so the service connects these areas with the school. This is a passenger transport services contract, awarded for a single requirement. It would suit operators providing reliable school transport, with suitable vehicles and the operational ability to transport SEND students between their homes or local areas and a school setting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Camberley Taxis was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £11,768,929 including tax, and the award is active. The procurement used a light-touch regime and covered one lot. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route. The published outcome identifies transport services as the category and records the contract title as Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND, although the awarded contract period ends on 31 July 2029. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation.

This outcome demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport linking Egham and Staines-upon-Thames with Hopescourt School in Walton-on-Thames. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate dependable passenger transport, provide a large MPV with eight passenger seats, and organise six journeys without a personal assistant. Relevant experience would include transporting SEND pupils safely and consistently, coordinating routes from student locations to school, and maintaining service continuity across the school term. Taxi, private-hire and specialist education-transport operators with suitable vehicles, trained drivers and the capacity to manage a multi-year school service would be well placed to assess comparable Surrey requirements.
