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 covered Lot 1, Standard Transport, using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with one to eight passenger seats. The service falls within transport services and is a service contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation. The available information identifies the council as the responsible public authority and the successful supplier as a small transport business. The requirement is specific to passenger transport delivered for the council’s SEND client transport programme, so it is most relevant to taxi, private-hire, minibus or other operators able to provide vehicles within the stated passenger-seat range.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Hilz Transport was selected as the supplier for the single stated lot. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and runs from 23 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £19,548.57. The award is active and the contract is active. The process used a light-touch regime and limited procurement method. The published outcome identifies transport services as the classification and the contract title is Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND. The award relates to the standard taxi or MPV transport requirement for vehicles carrying one to eight passenger seats. No separate evaluation weighting is stated.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for contracted SEND passenger transport using smaller vehicles rather than large coaches or general freight vehicles. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxis or MPVs with capacity for one to eight passengers and be able to deliver reliable client transport for the council’s SEND service. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that a small transport operator can meet the scale and route used for this requirement. Relevant businesses are likely to include established taxi firms, private-hire operators and specialist passenger-transport providers with suitable vehicles, dependable day-to-day operating capacity and experience of working to public-sector service requirements. The council’s use of a limited, below-threshold competition is also relevant to suppliers monitoring its procurement route.
