UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured passenger transport services for three passengers travelling to Guildford College under its special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport requirement. The service covers travel from Camberley to Guildford and includes a passenger assistant. The vehicle requirement is a medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle. The passenger assistant must have epilepsy and seizure-awareness capability, making this a specialist assisted-transport service rather than general taxi provision. The work is delivered between Camberley and Guildford, with Guildford College as the destination. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a local public authority. Suppliers operating accessible or suitable passenger transport, with trained passenger assistants and experience supporting young people with SEND, are relevant to this requirement.

This procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot is complete, and Surrey County Council awarded the contract to Camberley Taxis on 4 September 2026. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £45,872.86. The award covers transport services for the three-passenger SEND journey between Camberley and Guildford College, with a passenger assistant and medium MPV. The procurement used the light-touch regime and a limited procurement method. The awarded contract is active, while the overall tender is complete. The award relates to the full requirement rather than multiple separately awarded lots.

This award shows a defined local demand for specialist education transport combining vehicle provision, passenger assistance and safeguarding awareness for passengers with epilepsy and seizures. A credible future competitor would need dependable operations between Camberley and Guildford, a suitable medium MPV, and the capacity to carry three passengers consistently. It would also need passenger assistants who are trained and confident in epilepsy and seizure awareness, alongside arrangements for safe, reliable assisted travel to an education setting. Taxi operators and community transport providers with experience of SEND journeys, trained staff and robust day-to-day dispatch and contingency arrangements are the closest fit. The limited-competition route indicates that relevant local operators should be able to demonstrate a precise match to the journey and support requirements.
