Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils travelling to Fox Grove school. The requirement covers transport for three pupils using a small multi-purpose vehicle with five or six passenger seats. The pupils live in the GU15 postcode area, and the service therefore relates to journeys involving Camberley and the surrounding GU15 area. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract, with the relevant classification being transport services excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). Surrey County Council is the buying organisation and public authority responsible for the requirement. The service is focused on transporting a small, defined group of school pupils, rather than providing a general school transport network or a wider taxi framework.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to Camberley Taxis on 11 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The awarded contract value is £124,640 including gross value, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. It covers one requirement for transport to Fox Grove school and is recorded as an active contract. The procedure was run under the light-touch regime. The published outcome identifies Camberley Taxis as the selected supplier. The procurement was conducted as a limited competition rather than an open competition, so the relevant route for comparable future requirements is a restricted, buyer-managed competition for a below-threshold service.

This requirement is commercially relevant to taxi firms, private-hire operators and specialist passenger transport providers able to carry three SEND pupils in a small five- or six-seat MPV. A credible competitor would need to organise dependable school journeys serving the GU15 area and Fox Grove school, with sufficient vehicle availability and operational capacity for a small, regular passenger group. The award shows that Surrey County Council uses a below-threshold limited competition for defined SEND transport needs, rather than procuring a broad transport network. Suppliers with local coverage around Camberley, experience coordinating school passenger journeys and access to appropriately sized vehicles would be well placed to assess similar requirements from this buyer. The scale is a single-school, three-pupil transport service delivered over a multi-year period.
