UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs passenger transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using taxis or multi-passenger vehicles with capacity for 1–8 passengers. The requirement is identified as Lot 2 of the council’s client transport services programme. The service is for transporting clients who need enhanced support; the published description does not set out routes, journey frequency or specific care requirements. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation, and the named supplier is based in West Byfleet. The procurement is for transport services rather than vehicle supply, construction or general passenger transport. Its stated scope is focused on SEND journeys and enhanced-needs transport, so operators whose business covers suitably supported taxi or MPV passenger services are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. TSM PREMIER CARS was selected for the enhanced-needs transport lot. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026, with a stated period from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £46,530 including gross value as reported. The award is recorded as active, and the contract as active. The source data identifies the awarded service and supplier but gives no scoring breakdown or evaluation criteria, so the basis for comparing bids cannot be described. The procurement was treated as a light-touch services regime. This is an award outcome, not an opportunity to submit a bid for this contract.

This award shows Surrey County Council buying a focused SEND transport service using taxis or MPVs with space for up to eight passengers, through a limited competition. For a competitor to be credible when this requirement returns to market, it would need to operate passenger vehicles suited to small-group journeys and demonstrate that it can transport people with enhanced needs reliably. Experience delivering SEND transport and the capacity to meet the council’s client transport requirements would be directly relevant. The selected supplier, TSM PREMIER CARS, is a local operator based in West Byfleet, indicating that a provider serving Surrey is positioned to fulfil this work. The award is evidence of demand for specialist passenger transport rather than a broad fleet or vehicle procurement.
