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 awarded requirement was enhanced-needs transport using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with capacity for one to eight passenger seats, provided with a passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The relevant work category is transport services, covering the movement of council clients under the council’s SEND transport arrangements. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement covered one service lot focused on taxi and MPV transport with passenger-assistant support. The data identifies the council as the buyer but does not identify a separate delivery location, route, school, or client site.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected Camberley Taxis for the service. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026, runs from 17 September 2026 to 16 September 2027, and is valued at £3,266.07 gross. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement used the light-touch regime and covered one lot for enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport with a passenger assistant. The recorded award relates to transport services. The published outcome identifies the supplier and contract value, but does not set out separate quality or price weightings, minimum participation requirements, or a longer contract option. This is an award outcome, not an invitation to submit a bid.

For a transport operator, this award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for small-vehicle SEND transport supported by passenger assistants. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need suitable taxis or MPVs accommodating up to eight passenger seats, reliable driver and vehicle capacity, and the ability to provide a passenger assistant as part of the service. Experience of transporting children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities would be commercially relevant, alongside dependable scheduling, safeguarding practice and a service model suited to council-managed client journeys. The incumbent is a large taxi operator, so businesses considering similar work should be able to demonstrate operational resilience as well as individual vehicle availability. The requirement is a focused local-authority transport service rather than general taxi work.
