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 service covers vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers and falls within passenger transport services. This is Lot 1 of the council’s wider client transport programme. The buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. No delivery location is stated, so the service area cannot be identified from the procurement details.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to STL. It used limited competition under a below-threshold procedure. The award is active and the contract is also active; it was signed on 5 October 2026. The contract period runs from 7 October 2026 to 28 July 2027. The contract value is £1,470 including gross value, in pounds sterling. The opportunity was divided into one lot, covering standard taxi or MPV transport for SEND passengers. The procurement information does not set out the evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements.

For suppliers competing for similar Surrey County Council work, this award demonstrates demand for small-vehicle transport serving passengers with special educational needs and disabilities. A credible competitor would need to provide standard taxis or MPVs seating between one and eight passengers, and to deliver the transport service required for this client group. The council used limited competition for this below-threshold service, so suppliers should be prepared to compete through a restricted route rather than assume an open tender. The contract was awarded to STL, showing that a transport supplier was selected for this requirement. This is a focused service opportunity for operators with appropriate passenger vehicles and the capacity to undertake council-commissioned SEND transport.
