UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured passenger transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement was standard taxi or multi-purpose vehicle transport, using vehicles with capacity for 1–8 passenger seats. The work is a transport service; no specific delivery locations are identified in the procurement details.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Tunsgate Cars Ltd. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £12,471.43 including VAT. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The procurement was arranged as one lot, for standard taxi/MPV transport for SEND passengers. The published details do not set out the evaluation criteria or a separate award date.

For a future requirement from Surrey County Council, a credible supplier would need to provide standard taxi or MPV passenger transport for SEND passengers, using vehicles seating between one and eight passengers. Tunsgate Cars Ltd, identified as an SME, won this contract, showing that a small business competed successfully for this defined service requirement. Suppliers with relevant passenger-transport capability and the capacity to meet the specified vehicle size and SEND transport need are closest to the demonstrated requirement. The award indicates demand for a focused, limited-competition transport service rather than a broad transport provision.
