UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured complex health transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with a passenger assistant. The service is intended to provide supported transport for clients with complex health-related needs. It is a passenger transport service delivered in Surrey. The procurement was divided into a single lot covering this complex health transport requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to uk car service, a Woking-based supplier. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 30 September 2026 to 27 July 2029. Its value is £217,982.86 including gross value. The award covers the single lot for complex health transport by taxi or multi-purpose vehicle with a passenger assistant. No separate evaluation criteria or award basis are stated in the published contracting data.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for managed passenger transport for SEND clients with complex health needs, including journeys by taxi or multi-purpose vehicle with a passenger assistant. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement should be able to provide suitable vehicles and passenger-assistant support, and organise reliable transport for clients requiring additional health-related care. The selected provider is a small or medium-sized business, showing that this type of service can be delivered by an SME. A credible competitor would need the capacity to meet the council’s transport requirement across Surrey and experience handling sensitive passenger needs. The procurement was run through limited competition, so suppliers should monitor the council’s procurement activity and be prepared to demonstrate relevant capability when comparable work is considered.
