UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has 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 one to eight passengers. The service sits within the council’s wider client transport programme and is intended for passengers who need enhanced support while travelling. The transport service category is passenger transport services. The supplier is based in Woking, while the buyer is Surrey County Council. The award information does not state individual routes, passenger numbers, journey schedules or specific vehicle adaptations, so the defined scope is enhanced-needs taxi/MPV transport for SEND rather than a more detailed operating specification.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2029. The contract value is £85,858.93 including gross value, in GBP. The award is to STL for the enhanced-needs SEND taxi/MPV transport requirement. It is organised as one lot, covering vehicles with one to eight passenger seats. The published award information does not state an evaluation weighting or further award criteria, nor does it give separate lot values. This is an awarded services contract rather than a procurement still at the tendering stage.

This award demonstrates Surrey County Council’s demand for specialist passenger transport for people with SEND, delivered using taxis or MPVs of up to eight passenger seats. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need to show they can provide appropriate vehicles and reliably deliver enhanced-needs journeys for this passenger group. The small vehicle capacity indicates an operation suited to individual or small-group transport rather than large coach services. A credible provider would also need the operational capacity to meet the council’s client transport requirement over a sustained contract period. The award was made through limited competition, so suppliers should be prepared to meet the buyer’s participation and service requirements when approached through that route. The procurement does not identify particular accreditations, vehicle adaptations or staffing qualifications.
