UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has procured transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is standard taxi or multi-purpose vehicle transport for one to eight passengers, with a passenger assistant (PA). The contract covers transport services for the council’s SEND clients; the published details do not identify particular routes or delivery locations. The selected supplier is Surrey Auto Travel, a small business based in Surrey.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition for a single lot of standard SEND transport by taxi or MPV, with a PA; the award records one supplier, Surrey Auto Travel. The contract was signed on 2 October 2026, with a period from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £86,925. The award is active, but no separate award date or evaluation criteria are recorded in the published details.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for passenger transport serving children and young people with SEND, using taxis or MPVs seating up to eight passengers and including a PA. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to provide suitable vehicles and passenger-assistant support for this type of client transport, with the capacity to deliver the council’s standard transport service. Surrey Auto Travel, a small Surrey-based supplier, was selected through a limited competition, showing that a smaller local operator can win this work. The award provides a practical benchmark for suppliers assessing their ability to serve the same buyer: relevant transport capability, appropriate vehicle capacity and the ability to provide an assistant alongside the journey.
