UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service is taxi or multi-purpose vehicle transport, using vehicles with between one and eight passenger seats. The procurement is titled Client Transport Services 2026–2034, Lot 2, and concerns transport services. The council is based in Reigate; the contract data does not identify a delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. Aaron Taxis and Cars Services Ltd was awarded the contract. It was signed on 18 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The contract value is £24,592.86. The procurement was divided into lots, and this award relates to Lot 2, for enhanced-needs SEND taxi or MPV transport. No separate evaluation criteria are stated in the published process data.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for taxi and MPV transport for passengers with enhanced needs related to SEND, with vehicles accommodating one to eight passengers. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to operate suitable vehicles and deliver this type of passenger transport. The selected supplier is a small business, indicating that a smaller operator can compete for this scale of work. The council used limited competition below threshold, so familiarity with competing through that route would be relevant if the same requirement returns to market.
