UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with capacity for one to eight passenger seats. The requirement is a passenger transport service intended to support the Council’s SEND client transport arrangements. The procurement covers one service lot and falls within the transport services category. Delivery is associated with Surrey County Council, based in Reigate, and the successful supplier, uk car service, is based in Woking. Businesses relevant to this requirement include taxi and private-hire operators, MPV providers and passenger transport companies able to provide suitable vehicles and services for SEND journeys.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected uk car service as the supplier for the single enhanced-needs transport lot. The award was made on 13 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £27,885.71. The requirement was evaluated through a limited competition under the light-touch regime. This outcome relates to a single lot covering taxi or MPV transport for one to eight passenger seats, rather than a multi-lot award. The contract is below the applicable threshold.

This procurement shows recurring demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport delivered through a limited competition route. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxi or MPV services for journeys involving passengers with enhanced needs, with access to vehicles seating between one and eight passengers. Local coverage around Surrey, including the Woking and Reigate area, would be commercially relevant to this buyer’s requirement. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the scale and route to market can suit a smaller transport business rather than only a national operator. Providers should be able to demonstrate dependable passenger transport delivery and the operational capacity to support the Council’s SEND client transport arrangements.
