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 is Lot 2 Enhanced Needs Transport, using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with capacity for one to eight passenger seats. It is a passenger transport service rather than a goods, construction or general facilities contract. The service is intended to transport SEND clients for the council. The named buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority based in Reigate. The service category is transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). The selected provider, School Run Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in this type of school and client transport work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, School Run Ltd, was selected for the single lot. The award was made on 22 September 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 23 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is active. Its value is £25,324.29. The procedure was conducted under the light-touch regime using a limited procurement method. The award covers the enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport service for one to eight passenger seats. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and confirms the contract period and value; no separate award scoring basis is recorded in the procurement data.

This award is useful market evidence for passenger transport operators serving public-sector SEND requirements. A credible competitor would need to provide taxi or MPV vehicles suitable for journeys involving enhanced needs, with capacity within the one-to-eight-seat range, and organise reliable client transport for Surrey County Council. The contract shows that the council uses a below-threshold limited competition route for this requirement and that an SME can be selected. Relevant businesses include small and medium-sized transport firms with appropriate vehicles, drivers and operational coordination for SEND client journeys. Experience in school or client transport would help demonstrate fit with the requirement, while the modest single-lot scale indicates a focused opportunity for an operator able to manage a defined service rather than a large multi-service contract.
