UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs passenger transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service uses taxis or multi-purpose vehicles carrying between one and eight passengers, with a passenger assistant accompanying the journey. The requirement is a passenger transport service, rather than the purchase of vehicles. The contracting title places this work within Surrey County Council’s wider client transport programme, but the described requirement is specifically enhanced-needs transport for SEND passengers. The council is based in Reigate, Surrey. No more specific delivery locations or individual routes are identified in the procurement details.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Surrey County Council used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. One lot was awarded to STL, and the award is active; the resulting contract is also active. The award date and contract signature date were 28 September 2026. The contract runs from 29 September 2026 to 28 July 2028, with a stated value of £90,657.14 including gross value. The procurement was for one lot of enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport, with a passenger assistant, for SEND passengers. The published outcome identifies transport services as the category, but does not provide an evaluation method or award criteria.

For transport operators considering comparable future requirements from Surrey County Council, this award shows demand for assisted journeys for SEND passengers using taxis or MPVs with capacity for one to eight passengers. A credible supplier would need suitable vehicles and the operational ability to deliver passenger journeys with a passenger assistant, matching the enhanced-needs nature of the service. The award went to STL, a supplier recorded as large, indicating that this instance was won by a larger operator; it does not establish a formal size requirement. The work is a defined passenger-transport service within the council’s client transport programme, so relevant experience would centre on dependable transport for passengers with additional needs and the ability to organise both vehicles and accompanying staff.
