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 capacity for 1–8 passengers. The service is part of the council’s client transport provision and covers one transport lot. The supplier’s role is to provide passenger transport; the published scope does not describe individual routes, journeys or additional care duties. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council. The supplier is based in Woking, but the data does not identify where the journeys are delivered.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used limited competition below the relevant threshold. MPCars was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its stated value is £34,780. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is recorded as active. The published procurement data does not give an evaluation formula or scoring criteria, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be described more specifically.

This award shows Surrey County Council buys taxi or MPV transport for passengers with enhanced needs in its SEND transport service, with vehicles carrying between one and eight passengers. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide suitable vehicles and dependable passenger transport for this specialist group, and to manage a service of the scale represented by this single-lot contract. The recorded award went to MPCars, a supplier based in Woking. The procurement data does not state particular vehicle adaptations, driver qualifications, safeguarding checks or accreditations, so these cannot be identified as demonstrated requirements. The commercial signal is specific to SEND enhanced-needs taxi and MPV transport for Surrey County Council, rather than transport services generally.
