UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured standard transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with capacity for 1–8 passengers. The requirement is for passenger transport services delivered in connection with the council’s SEND provision. The named lot covers standard transport rather than a broader transport service, and the awarded item is classified as transport services. The buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate, and the successful supplier, The RoadRunners Group, is based in Redhill. This work is relevant to operators able to provide suitable taxi or MPV journeys for SEND passengers in the area served by the council.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to The RoadRunners Group. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026, with a period running from 17 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £65,500. The process covered one lot for standard taxi/MPV transport, with vehicles carrying 1–8 passengers. The award is recorded as active. The procurement data does not give a separate award date or describe the evaluation criteria, so the outcome can be identified but the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be detailed here.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Surrey County Council for standard SEND passenger transport using taxis or MPVs with capacity for up to eight passengers. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be able to organise and deliver reliable passenger journeys for SEND users, using appropriately sized vehicles and a service model suited to the council’s standard transport requirement. The buyer used a limited competition below the applicable threshold, so a credible future competitor should be prepared to engage with a restricted procurement route rather than assume an open tender. The contract’s modest, single-lot scale suits an operator able to take on a discrete transport requirement; The RoadRunners Group’s selection provides evidence that a transport operator can meet this buyer’s need.
