UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has commissioned standard SEND transport by taxi or MPV, with capacity for one to eight passengers. The service is for transporting clients with special educational needs and disabilities. The award covers Lot 1 of the council’s Client Transport Services programme. Transport services are the core requirement, delivered for Surrey County Council; the published procurement information identifies the council’s address in Reigate, but does not state the journey routes or specific collection and destination points.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to IBEX CARS. The council used limited competition below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 9 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £16,267.14 including tax. The award is active and relates to the standard taxi/MPV SEND transport lot. The procurement concerns one lot; the published award information does not provide evaluation criteria or a scoring basis.

This award shows Surrey County Council buys SEND client transport using standard taxis or MPVs with capacity for one to eight passengers, through below-threshold limited competition. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to provide suitable vehicles and dependable transport for clients with special educational needs and disabilities, with capacity aligned to the passenger range. The selected supplier was IBEX CARS, based in Horsham. The work is a defined transport service rather than a broad passenger transport contract: operators whose vehicles and service can meet SEND client transport needs are the closest fit. Familiarity with the council’s geography and ability to deliver the required journeys would be commercially relevant, although specific routes and operational or accreditation requirements are not set out here.
