UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured standard taxi and MPV transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers. This is a passenger transport service rather than a general transport contract, focused on providing journeys for the council’s SEND clients. The awarded lot covers standard taxi/MPV transport. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation; the contract’s service delivery locations are not identified in the published contracting information.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to CSR Services Ltd. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £81,404.50 including tax. The tender was for SEND standard taxi/MPV transport, with vehicles accommodating one to eight passengers. The procurement record does not provide a specific scoring method or evaluation criteria, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be described further.

For suppliers considering similar Surrey County Council work, this award demonstrates demand for dedicated taxi and MPV journeys for people with special educational needs and disabilities, rather than undifferentiated passenger transport. A credible competitor would need to provide suitable vehicles for journeys carrying between one and eight passengers and the operational capacity to deliver standard transport reliably for council clients. The council selected a supplier through limited competition, so a business seeking comparable work should be positioned to meet the requirements set out in a future competition and demonstrate relevant transport capability. This is a focused service requirement; general transport experience alone may not show that a supplier can support SEND client journeys.
