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), using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with one to eight passenger seats and an accompanying passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply. The requirement is identified as Lot 2 of the council’s wider client transport programme. The council is based in Reigate, Surrey, but the procurement data does not identify the routes or specific delivery locations. The contracted service is described as SEND transport with a passenger assistant; no further service specification or journey detail is provided here.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 6 October 2026 and runs from 7 October 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its stated value is £31,714.29. STL was awarded the contract for the enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport service with a passenger assistant. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was divided into lots, and this award relates to the enhanced-needs transport lot. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are stated in the available procurement details.

For suppliers considering similar SEND transport work for Surrey County Council, this award demonstrates demand for taxi or MPV journeys carrying between one and eight passengers, with a passenger assistant included. A credible competitor would need to provide suitable passenger vehicles and organise journeys with an accompanying assistant, while meeting the needs of passengers with enhanced transport requirements. The awarded supplier was STL, a large-scale business, which indicates that a supplier of that size was selected for this requirement; it does not establish a minimum size requirement. The service is a defined part of the council’s wider client transport programme, so relevant experience in passenger transport and the ability to coordinate both vehicles and assistants would be pertinent when this requirement returns to market.
