UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities under the Client Transport Services 2026–2034 programme. The requirement covered route Q22K/26 for More House School and involved transporting seven pupils in a large multi-purpose vehicle, with one passenger assistant. The passenger assistant must have epilepsy awareness and be able to follow the 999 emergency protocol. This is a passenger transport service rather than a general vehicle supply requirement, and the work concerns the safe, supported movement of school pupils. The procurement was managed by Surrey County Council, a local authority, for a dedicated school transport service linked to More House School.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Camberley Taxis. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The single lot was awarded, with the award recorded as active. The award date was 10 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £55,658.57 including applicable taxes. The contract is below the relevant threshold. The award covers transport services for the specified SEND school route, with Camberley Taxis named as the selected supplier. The published procurement title identifies the wider service programme as running from 2026 to 2034.

This opportunity demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport delivered through a small, route-specific service. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would need a large MPV capable of carrying seven pupils, together with a passenger assistant for every journey. The passenger assistant role requires epilepsy awareness and the ability to follow the 999 emergency protocol, so bidders would need suitable safeguarding, passenger-care and emergency-response arrangements. Relevant operators would also need dependable school transport scheduling, reliable vehicle availability and the ability to provide consistent assisted travel for children with additional needs. The award provides a clear example of the service configuration and operational capability that satisfied this buyer for a specialist school route.
