UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils. The requirement covers transport for one pupil travelling to The Wavell School on Lynchford Road, Farnborough, Hampshire. The specified vehicle is a saloon car, making this a small-scale, individual passenger transport service rather than a general bus or fleet operation. The work falls within transport services, excluding waste transport. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation, and the service is associated with travel to the school in Farnborough. The awarded supplier, Camberley Taxis, is based in Camberley and operates under the urcab.co.uk business name.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It was divided into one lot covering the individual SEND transport requirement. Camberley Taxis was awarded the contract, which was signed on 6 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is worth £18,552.86 gross. The recorded procurement method was limited competition. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and contract value; the procurement record does not state a separate award date or detailed scoring criteria. The contract is active and the tender status is complete.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for dedicated SEND school transport for an individual pupil, using a saloon car and serving a school journey in Farnborough. Businesses well placed for comparable work would be established local or regional taxi and private-hire operators able to provide reliable, passenger-focused journeys for children or young people with additional needs. Credibility would depend on having a suitable saloon vehicle, dependable scheduling and the operational capacity to cover regular school travel throughout the service period. Familiarity with education transport requirements, safeguarding responsibilities, passenger welfare and communication with the council and school would strengthen a future response. The small, single-passenger scale may suit specialist taxi firms as well as larger transport operators.
