UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured standard taxi and multi-purpose vehicle transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers and is identified as transport services. The contract is for Lot 1, standard transport, serving the Council’s client transport requirements. The supplier is based in Woking; the source data identifies Surrey County Council as the buyer and gives Reigate as its address, but does not state where journeys take place.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. Woking Cars was awarded the contract, which is active and was signed on 2 October 2026. The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 30 July 2027 and is valued at £17,024.31 including gross value as stated. The procurement concerns a single lot for standard taxi or MPV transport, with capacity for one to eight passengers. The award is recorded against transport services. No award scoring or evaluation criteria are stated in the process data.

For suppliers competing for a similar Surrey County Council requirement, the award shows demand for standard taxi and MPV transport supporting SEND client journeys, at a modest, single-lot scale. A credible provider would need suitable vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers and the ability to deliver transport services for the Council’s client transport needs. Woking Cars, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Woking, was selected through a limited competition, providing evidence that a smaller local operator can win this type of work. Providers with relevant transport capacity and experience serving SEND passengers would be well placed to compete when this specific requirement returns to market.
