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 multipurpose vehicles carrying between one and eight passengers. The requirement is a passenger transport service under the council’s wider Client Transport Services programme. It relates to a single service lot and is intended for journeys arranged by the council for people with enhanced transport needs. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a local public authority. The service is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire vehicle businesses and passenger transport providers with vehicles and operating arrangements suited to SEND journeys and small passenger groups.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to Green line cars, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026, with a value of £13,728 including tax. The contract period runs from 22 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement used the light-touch regime and covered one lot for enhanced-needs transport by taxi or MPV with one to eight passenger seats. The published award information identifies transport services as the classification. The available outcome records one active award and one active contract; no separate award date is stated.

For a competing supplier, this award demonstrates that Surrey County Council buys relatively small-scale, specialist passenger transport for SEND users through a limited-competition route. A credible provider would need to operate taxis or MPVs with capacity for between one and eight passengers and be able to deliver reliable council-arranged transport for people with enhanced needs. Relevant businesses include local taxi firms, private-hire operators and small passenger transport companies able to manage individual or small-group journeys rather than only large vehicles or general bus services. The incumbent supplier is identified as an SME, indicating that the requirement can suit a smaller operator with appropriate vehicles, operational capacity and experience delivering sensitive passenger transport.
