UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council buys standard taxi and MPV transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service covers vehicles with capacity for 1–8 passengers and is described as Lot 1 of the council’s wider client transport programme. The named supplier is based in Woking, and the buyer is Surrey County Council. The procurement is for transport services; the available description does not identify specific routes, passenger numbers or journey patterns.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to uk car service. It was run as a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026, starts on 24 September 2026 and runs to 31 July 2027. Its value is £9,034.29 including tax. The award is active and relates to the single standard taxi/MPV transport lot for SEND passengers. The published information does not state the award date separately from the contract-signing date, or provide evaluation criteria. This is one part of the Client Transport Services 2026–2034 programme; the contract period shown for this award is shorter than the programme title suggests.

This award shows demand from Surrey County Council for small-vehicle transport serving children and young people with SEND, using taxis or MPVs seating up to eight passengers. A credible competitor for this requirement would need suitable vehicles and the operational capacity to provide passenger transport for this client group. Providers should be able to demonstrate that their service matches the standard transport requirement and can be delivered reliably for council-arranged journeys. The selected supplier is a small business, indicating that this individual award was delivered by an SME. The recorded contract is modest in scale and covers one lot, so it is relevant to local taxi and MPV operators able to undertake public-sector client transport rather than suppliers focused on larger vehicle fleets or unrelated transport services.
