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 one to eight passengers. The requirement sits within the council’s client transport services and covers passenger transport rather than vehicle supply. The contract is for transport services delivered in Surrey; the supplier is based in Woking. This is a specialist passenger-transport requirement involving the needs of SEND passengers and small-capacity vehicles.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to STL. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2027. Its value is £2,767.86 including tax. The process covered one lot for enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies transport services as the contracted category; it does not state the evaluation criteria or any supplier eligibility requirements.

For suppliers considering similar Surrey County Council work, this award demonstrates demand for SEND transport by taxi or MPV, with capacity for up to eight passengers. A credible competitor would need to provide passenger transport suited to people with enhanced needs and operate vehicles appropriate to small-group journeys. The awarded supplier’s selection shows that a transport operator could meet the council’s requirement through a limited competition below the applicable threshold. This is a modest, focused service requirement rather than a large transport network contract. Providers whose operations are geared to accessible, reliable SEND journeys and who can serve Surrey are the closest fit when comparable requirements return to market.
