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 2, enhanced needs transport using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles carrying between one and eight passengers, with a personal assistant included. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract, classified under CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport. The buying authority is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The selected service provider is Parkers of Reigate Ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is focused on safe, supported transport for passengers with enhanced needs and the associated personal-assistant provision.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Parkers of Reigate Ltd. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 11 September 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £177,919.29. The award covers one lot for enhanced-needs SEND transport by taxi or MPV with a personal assistant. The contract is active, while the tender itself is complete. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier and the agreed contract value; the procurement record does not set out separate weighted evaluation criteria.

This procurement indicates demand from Surrey County Council for specialist passenger transport supporting children and young people with SEND, rather than general taxi work. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to provide taxis or MPVs suitable for one to eight passengers, organise reliable journeys for passengers with enhanced needs and supply personal-assistant support as part of the service. The award to a small or medium-sized local transport business shows that the requirement can be delivered by an SME with the relevant operational capacity. Businesses in this market should be able to demonstrate dependable vehicle availability, suitable passenger-care arrangements, trained support staff and the ability to manage a council transport service consistently.
