UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils travelling to Hurst Lodge School, Camberley. The requirement was a small multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) operating Monday to Friday for three pupils: one travelling from Farnham and two siblings travelling from The Sands, Farnham. The route serves the school’s postcode area, GU46 6HJ, with the stated route beginning at the school. This is a dedicated school transport service rather than general passenger transport, requiring reliable daily journeys between Farnham and Hurst Lodge School. The procurement was let by Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority, for transport services classified under CPV 60000000.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Camberley Taxis through a below-threshold limited competition. It covered one lot, with the award recorded as active. The award was made on 11 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross and net stated value is £96,731.43. The tender was treated as a light-touch procurement and used the limited procurement method. Evaluation was conducted through the limited competition route; the available outcome records identify Camberley Taxis as the selected supplier for the full transport requirement.

This requirement demonstrates demand for specialist school transport on a regular weekday route, linking Farnham and The Sands with Hurst Lodge School. Suppliers best placed for similar work would be established taxi, private-hire or community transport operators able to provide a small MPV, carry three pupils, and deliver consistent morning and return journeys throughout the school week. Credibility would depend on dependable vehicle availability, competent drivers and the operational capacity to maintain a fixed education route over multiple school terms. Local knowledge of Farnham, The Sands and the school’s surrounding area would support efficient delivery. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold limited competition also shows a route suited to smaller, locally focused transport businesses.
