Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned standard transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers. The requirement is for passenger transport services, rather than vehicle supply, and forms the standard-transport lot within the council’s wider client transport programme. The buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The published contract information does not identify specific routes, collection points or delivery locations, so the scope that can be established is SEND passenger transport by taxi or MPV.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. STL was selected as the supplier for the standard taxi/MPV SEND transport lot. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 29 September 2026 to 27 July 2029. Its stated value is £55,838.57 including gross value, in pounds sterling. The available process information identifies one lot but does not set out evaluation criteria, eligibility requirements or how the award was scored. The competition and contract relate specifically to standard transport for SEND passengers, using vehicles with one to eight passenger seats.

For suppliers assessing comparable future work from Surrey County Council, this award shows demand for standard taxi and MPV transport for passengers with special educational needs and disabilities, procured through a limited competition below the relevant threshold. A credible provider would need to deliver passenger transport using vehicles accommodating one to eight passengers and be equipped to serve the SEND transport requirement. The awarded supplier provides evidence that a transport business can win this type of work, but the published information does not establish particular vehicle adaptations, driver qualifications, safeguarding checks, service levels or route volumes. Suppliers should therefore judge their fit against the core taxi/MPV SEND transport requirement and any detailed specifications used when the council next sources comparable services.
