UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with 1–8 passenger seats. The requirement forms part of the council’s client transport services and covers passenger transport rather than vehicle supply. The buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate; the awarded supplier is based in Woking. The published procurement information does not identify specific routes, passenger numbers or individual destinations, so the work can be characterised as local SEND transport provision for the council rather than a defined route or fleet contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to iconnectcar through below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £15,300. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is also active. This is one completed lot for enhanced-needs transport by taxi or MPV, with seating for 1–8 passengers. No separate award evaluation criteria or scoring basis are stated in the available process details.

This award shows a specific requirement from Surrey County Council for SEND passenger transport using taxis or MPVs rather than larger vehicles. Suppliers seeking comparable work from this buyer would need to demonstrate the ability to provide suitable small vehicles and deliver transport for passengers with enhanced needs. The short, defined service period and modest individual contract scale may suit a local operator able to fulfil a discrete requirement, rather than a supplier relying on a large fleet commitment. The council selected a Woking-based supplier, indicating that local provision can meet this requirement. The procurement details do not establish particular vehicle adaptations, driver qualifications or accreditations, so suppliers should not assume these were the basis of selection.
