UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for Charters School. The requirement covers transport for 10 students, with no passenger assistant, using one vehicle with 16 passenger seats excluding the driver. The service operates between Woking, Chertsey and Ascot. This is a passenger transport services requirement for an operator able to provide a suitably sized vehicle and manage regular school-related journeys across these locations. The council is the public-sector buyer. The requirement is focused on transporting school pupils rather than general taxi or passenger transport, so it is most relevant to operators with appropriate vehicles, drivers and operational arrangements for scheduled education transport.

The procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Surrey County Council awarded the single lot to Camberley Taxis, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its gross value is £487,143. The procurement was for one defined transport requirement and the tender is complete. The published outcome identifies Camberley Taxis as the selected supplier. The recorded contract title is Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – Child Mainstream, although the active contract period recorded for this award is one year.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated school transport serving Charters School and connecting Woking, Chertsey and Ascot. A credible future competitor would need to operate a 16-passenger-seat vehicle, excluding the driver, and have enough capacity and scheduling discipline to transport 10 students without a passenger assistant. Local knowledge of the routes and the ability to provide reliable, repeat journeys across the three named areas would be commercially relevant. Taxi and private-hire operators with suitable vehicles, trained drivers and established school transport operations are the closest fit. The requirement also shows that the council uses a below-threshold limited competition route for this type of service.
