UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) route serving Cove Secondary HIU. The requirement is for transport for one passenger travelling from Farnham, using a saloon car. This is a focused passenger transport service rather than a broad fleet or network operation. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a local authority. The service is associated with the passenger journey between Farnham and Cove Secondary HIU, so suppliers need to understand the practical requirements of a dedicated education transport route and provide an appropriate vehicle and reliable passenger service. The procurement falls within passenger and transport services, corresponding to CPV 60000000.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to Euro Taxis on 4 August 2026. The contract is active, runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, and is valued at £1,902,857 including gross value in GBP. There was one completed lot covering the SEND transport requirement. The recorded procurement method was limited, with the procedure described as a below-threshold limited competition. The award is active and the contract was signed on 4 August 2026. Euro Taxis is the selected supplier for the passenger transport service for Cove Secondary HIU, involving one passenger from Farnham and a saloon car requirement.

This procurement is commercially relevant to operators providing dedicated school and SEND passenger transport, particularly firms able to deliver individual journeys rather than large-scale public transport services. A credible future competitor would need an appropriate saloon car, dependable availability and the operational discipline to provide a consistent route for one passenger travelling from Farnham to Cove Secondary HIU. Experience in education transport, SEND-related passenger needs, safeguarding and working reliably with a local authority would strengthen a supplier’s position, provided those capabilities are evidenced in the procurement response. The award to Euro Taxis, an SME taxi operator, shows that the requirement can suit a focused local or regional passenger transport business, rather than only a large national fleet provider.
