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 for standard transport using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with capacity for between one and eight passenger seats. This is a passenger transport service rather than a goods supply or construction contract. The procurement covers the council’s SEND transport requirement under the broader Client Transport Services 2026–2034 programme. The service was awarded to Movr Limited, based in Worcester Park. The published information identifies Surrey County Council as the buying organisation and classifies the service as transport services, excluding waste transport. The requirement is therefore relevant to taxi, private-hire, minibus and other passenger transport operators able to provide suitable vehicles and operate SEND client transport services for a local authority.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Movr Limited through a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and has a value of £19,485.71 including the published gross amount, in GBP. The contract period runs from 23 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. One lot covered standard taxi or MPV transport for one to eight passenger seats for SEND services. The award is active and the contract is active. The procedure used was a limited procurement under the light-touch regime, with competition restricted to invited suppliers rather than an open tender. The award date is 18 September 2026. No separate award scoring basis is stated in the procurement information.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined local-authority demand for SEND passenger transport using small-capacity taxis and MPVs. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need reliable access to vehicles seating one to eight passengers, the operational capacity to provide scheduled client transport, and experience delivering passenger services for children and young people with additional needs. Operators should also be able to meet the practical service and safeguarding expectations associated with SEND transport, although the published information does not set out specific accreditations or staffing requirements. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold limited competition indicates that relevant local operators and established transport providers may be considered through a restricted route. Movr Limited’s award provides a direct benchmark for the type of supplier serving this council’s requirement.
