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 covers standard taxi and multipurpose vehicle transport for vehicles carrying between one and eight passengers. It is a passenger transport service rather than a supply of vehicles, and is intended to provide client journeys under the council’s SEND transport arrangements. The procurement is associated with the council’s public services in Surrey. The selected supplier, Old Woking Cars, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Woking. Businesses operating taxi, private-hire or MPV services, particularly those able to provide reliable passenger transport for SEND clients, would find this requirement relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Old Woking Cars. The award was made on 21 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 22 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £18,831.43 gross. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route for standard taxi or MPV transport supporting SEND services. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded service classification is transport services, excluding waste transport. The contracting process is titled Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for smaller-scale, specialist passenger transport supporting SEND services. A credible future competitor would need access to suitable taxis or MPVs carrying between one and eight passengers, with the operational capacity to provide dependable client transport. Relevant businesses include local taxi and private-hire operators, small transport companies and fleet owners able to organise regular journeys and maintain service continuity. Experience of transporting children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities would be commercially relevant to this requirement. Suppliers should also be prepared to compete through a limited, below-threshold procurement route and to evidence that their vehicles and operating arrangements can meet the council’s standard transport needs.
