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). The requirement is taxi and MPV journeys, using vehicles with 1–8 passenger seats, under Lot 2 of its client transport services programme. The service is for transporting clients who need enhanced support; the recorded item classification is transport services. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation, and the named supplier is based in Woking. The procurement is a single lot focused on this taxi and MPV transport requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to STL. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £51,000 including VAT. The requirement was organised as one lot for enhanced-needs taxi and MPV transport, but the published award information does not state a separate evaluation formula or criteria. The contract is active. This outcome records a completed award for the council’s SEND transport requirement, rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

For transport operators, this award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for SEND journeys using taxis or MPVs with capacity for 1–8 passengers. A credible future competitor would need to provide this vehicle-based transport and meet the enhanced support needs of passengers with special educational needs and disabilities. The limited-competition route indicates that suppliers must be able to respond to a targeted procurement rather than assume an unrestricted tender. The award went to STL, a Woking-based supplier, showing that a local transport business was selected for this requirement. This is relevant to operators with suitable vehicles, the operational capacity to deliver client transport, and experience serving passengers who require enhanced support.
