UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) passengers. The requirement was for standard taxi or multipurpose vehicle transport accommodating between one and eight passenger seats, covering transport services rather than vehicle supply or construction. The council is the buying organisation, and the selected supplier is Asiana cars ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Redhill. The procurement relates to the council’s SEND transport provision under its wider Client Transport Services programme. The work is associated with Surrey County Council’s passenger transport needs, with the buying authority based in Reigate. The service category is passenger transport by taxi or MPV, suitable for operators that provide accessible, reliable journeys for SEND clients.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Asiana cars ltd. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026, with a contract period from 8 October 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross value is £85,827.86. The award is active and the contract is active. The published scope identifies standard taxi or MPV transport for one to eight passenger seats and SEND client transport. The process used the light-touch regime and a limited procurement method. Surrey County Council selected the supplier for the full stated lot requirement; the available award information does not provide a separate evaluation weighting or scoring breakdown.

This award shows established demand from Surrey County Council for outsourced SEND client transport using standard taxis or MPVs with capacity for one to eight passengers. It is most relevant to small and medium-sized taxi, private-hire and passenger-transport operators able to provide dependable vehicle-based services for SEND journeys. A credible competitor would need access to suitable cars or MPVs, operational capacity for passenger transport, and the ability to deliver the council’s specified service consistently. The selected supplier’s profile indicates that an SME can win this type of council requirement through a limited competition. Businesses tracking this buyer should therefore focus on SEND transport capability, appropriately sized vehicles and reliable day-to-day service delivery rather than general haulage or fleet supply.
