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 covers standard transport using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with capacity for one to eight passenger seats. It is a passenger transport service rather than a goods supply or construction project, with the council as the buying organisation. The named supplier operates from Horley, while the council is based in Reigate. The service sits within the council’s wider client transport arrangements and is focused on providing suitable journeys for SEND clients. Businesses with taxi, MPV or specialist passenger transport operations serving council clients are the relevant market.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Sprint transfers Ltd, and the award is active. Surrey County Council signed the contract on 11 September 2026. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a value of £31,771.43. The procurement used the services category and a light-touch regime. The contract title is Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND, covering Lot 1 Standard Transport – Taxi/MPV (1–8 passenger seats) – SEND. The award date is not separately stated, but the signed contract and active award establish that supplier selection has taken place.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement provides a clear indication of Surrey County Council’s demand for small-scale SEND passenger transport. A credible competitor would need to operate taxis or MPVs carrying between one and eight passengers and be able to organise dependable client journeys for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. Relevant capability includes running a passenger transport operation, providing vehicles suited to the required capacity, and delivering consistently enough to satisfy a council service requirement. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of council transport work can suit smaller transport businesses as well as larger operators.
