UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured standard taxi and MPV transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), with vehicles carrying between one and eight passengers. The service supports client journeys arranged by the council. The named requirement is Lot 1, Standard Transport; the award classifies the service as transport services. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation, based in Reigate. The successful supplier, Zedcarz Limited, is based in Surbiton. The work is for the council’s SEND transport service, rather than general passenger transport.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Zedcarz Limited. The 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 value is £17,590.86 including the published gross amount. The award covers one lot of standard taxi/MPV transport for SEND journeys. The published process information does not set out an evaluation basis or specific eligibility requirements, so the outcome provides no stated scoring criteria against which to compare suppliers.

For transport operators, the award shows Surrey County Council buying a defined SEND taxi and MPV service, rather than a broad transport contract. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to provide suitable vehicles carrying up to eight passengers and reliably deliver planned journeys for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, demonstrating that this individual contract was awarded to an SME. Operators with relevant passenger transport capability, appropriate capacity for the council’s journey requirements and experience serving SEND clients are the most directly aligned with this buyer’s demonstrated demand. The limited-competition route is also relevant to suppliers assessing how the council has sourced this type of work.
