UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement was Lot 1 standard transport using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with capacity for between one and eight passenger seats. It falls within transport services (CPV 60000000) and is a services contract. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council. The requirement concerns the council’s SEND transport provision and is suited to operators able to provide standard passenger transport using appropriately sized taxis or MPVs. The scope is a specific client transport service rather than general goods supply, construction or broader professional services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to School Run Ltd, an SME, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026, runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, and has a value of £74,320.71 including tax. The published procurement title refers to client transport services for 2026 to 2034, while the awarded contract period covers the dates above. The process used a limited procurement method; the available record does not set out a separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting.

This award demonstrates established demand from Surrey County Council for SEND client transport delivered through standard taxi or MPV provision. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to operate passenger vehicles seating between one and eight people and be able to organise reliable transport services for SEND clients. The awarded supplier is identified as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist transport business rather than only by a large national operator. Relevant businesses are therefore local or regional taxi and private-hire operators, or transport companies with suitable vehicle capacity and the operational ability to provide council-funded client journeys under a limited-competition route.
