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). The requirement is for taxi or multi-purpose vehicle services carrying between one and eight passengers, under the wider Client Transport Services programme. The work is classified as passenger transport services and relates to one service lot. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation, based in Reigate, and the transport service is connected to its client transport responsibilities. This is a service requirement rather than the supply of vehicles, covering operators able to provide suitable taxi or MPV transport for passengers with enhanced needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Parkers of Reigate Ltd was selected for the SEND enhanced-needs taxi/MPV service. The award was made on 21 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active from 22 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £33,205.71 including gross value as published. The procurement used a light-touch regime and covered one lot. The contract is below the relevant threshold. The award and contract relate specifically to the one-to-eight-passenger-seat transport requirement.

This opportunity shows Surrey County Council’s demand for smaller-scale, specialist passenger transport for SEND clients, delivered through taxi or MPV vehicles with capacity for up to eight passengers. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would be established local or regional passenger-transport operators with access to suitable vehicles, reliable scheduling and the operational capacity to provide regular client journeys. Familiarity with enhanced-needs transport and the practical demands of supporting children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities would strengthen credibility. The award to an SME indicates that this type of council transport requirement can suit a focused specialist operator rather than only a large national provider.
