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 one to eight passenger seats. The requirement is client transport: moving passengers who need enhanced support, rather than general passenger transport. The award covers the second lot of the council’s 2026–2034 SEND client transport programme. The buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The available information does not identify particular pickup, drop-off or delivery locations, so the requirement is best understood as transport services for the council’s SEND clients rather than work at a named site.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Falcon Transport Ltd. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 7 October 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its stated value is £95,457.14 including VAT. The award is for enhanced-needs transport by taxi or MPV, with one to eight passenger seats, and is recorded as an active contract. The procurement was divided into lots; this award concerns the enhanced-needs transport lot. The available outcome information does not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, so it does not establish how bids were scored or what minimum supplier qualifications applied.

This award demonstrates Surrey County Council’s demand for SEND transport in taxis and MPVs seating up to eight passengers, with enhanced-needs capability. Falcon Transport Ltd was selected through a limited competition, showing that the council has used a restricted route for this requirement. A credible competitor for similar council work would need suitable vehicles and the operational ability to transport passengers with enhanced support needs safely and reliably. Providers should assess whether they can deliver the required passenger capacity and meet the practical demands of client transport for people with SEND. The contract indicates a defined, single-lot requirement rather than a broad transport-service award. No particular vehicle adaptations, staff qualifications, safeguarding standards or accreditations are stated in the available procurement information, so these cannot be treated as confirmed requirements.
