Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for two students attending the Fordway Centre. The requirement is for one saloon car, with no passenger assistant, serving journeys involving Camberley, Staines-upon-Thames and Ashford. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a local public authority. The scope is specific to transporting children to and from the Fordway Centre and may suit operators with suitable cars, reliable scheduling and the ability to provide safe, consistent journeys across the stated locations. The procurement falls within transport services, excluding waste transport.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to Camberley executive cars, and the contract was signed on 5 August 2026. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £2,637,836 gross. The requirement was handled under the light-touch regime. The tender was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available outcome records identify the selected supplier but do not set out separate quality, price or technical weighting. The contract is active. This is a completed award, not an invitation to submit a bid for the current contract.

For transport operators, this award demonstrates substantial recurring demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated child transport to an education setting. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a saloon car and dependable, carefully managed journeys for a small number of students, without relying on a passenger assistant. Local knowledge of Camberley, Staines-upon-Thames, Ashford and the Fordway Centre would support practical route planning and consistent service delivery. The successful supplier’s profile also shows that the buyer used a below-threshold limited competition route, so businesses targeting similar work should be prepared to respond efficiently to focused competitions and demonstrate operational reliability, suitable vehicles and experience delivering passenger transport for children.
