Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured SEND transport services, classified under transport services excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). The requirement was organised as a single service lot and concerned the provision of transport associated with SEND. Delivery was in Warwickshire. The council was the buying organisation, based in Reigate, Surrey. The selected supplier, Charleys taxis limited, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Birmingham. The procurement was subject to the Government Procurement Agreement. The available description is brief, so businesses should treat this as a buyer requirement for SEND-related passenger transport rather than a general vehicle, fleet or waste-transport opportunity. Its relevance is greatest for operators able to provide reliable passenger transport services in the specified delivery area.

This procurement has reached the awarded stage. Surrey County Council used an open procedure. The tender is recorded as complete, with one lot marked cancelled, while the related award is active and identifies Charleys taxis limited as the selected supplier. The award date is not stated separately; the contract was signed on 3 September 2026. The active contract value is £14,948.57 including the stated currency of GBP. Twelve bids were recorded for the lot. Evaluation was based mainly on price, weighted at 95%, with the remaining 5% assigned to a custom quality measure. Other quality areas were listed as attributes, client review, features, capability and qualifications. The contract period is not stated.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for a small, defined SEND transport requirement delivered through an open procedure. A competitor preparing for a future requirement from this buyer would need to offer passenger transport operational capability, demonstrate relevant qualifications and satisfy the council’s quality assessment areas, including service attributes, features, capability and client review. The evaluation shows that price was the dominant consideration, so a credible supplier would need disciplined cost control alongside dependable delivery. The selected provider’s SME status indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller operator rather than only by a national transport group. Operators based near the delivery area, or with practical coverage there, may be well placed to provide responsive local services.
