UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs passenger transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is for taxi or multi-purpose vehicle services carrying between one and eight passengers, with a passenger assistant (PA). It is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract, classified under CPV 60000000. The procurement forms Lot 2 of the council’s Client Transport Services programme. The service is intended to provide assisted journeys for SEND clients, with the PA supporting passengers during transport. The named buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority based in Reigate. The selected supplier is Camberley Taxis, based in Camberley.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One supplier, Camberley Taxis, was selected for the single lot. The award was made on 11 September 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £50,971.43 including tax. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the published data does not set out a price, quality or other scoring breakdown. This outcome records a completed award rather than an invitation to submit a tender, and establishes the council’s appointed provider for the specified SEND transport service.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist assisted passenger transport: a taxi or MPV capable of carrying up to eight passengers, together with a passenger assistant for enhanced SEND needs. Businesses considering similar work for Surrey County Council would need suitable vehicles, reliable driver and PA capacity, and the operational ability to support vulnerable passengers safely and consistently. Experience delivering school, social care or other assisted transport would help demonstrate suitability, particularly where journeys involve passengers with additional needs. A credible competitor would also need enough local capacity to cover scheduled client journeys, maintain appropriate safeguarding and service standards, and participate effectively in a below-threshold limited competition rather than relying only on open-market tendering.
