UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council purchased standard taxi and multi-purpose vehicle transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is for vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers, providing passenger transport services in Surrey. The contract covers one standard transport lot; the data does not describe particular routes or journeys. This is a local authority transport requirement, rather than a purchase of vehicles. Suppliers whose business includes operating taxis or MPVs and delivering passenger transport for SEND clients are the closest fit. The buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Traveline Transport Services, a small or medium-sized supplier based in Woking. The contract was signed on 12 October 2026, with a stated period from 13 October 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £16,157.14 including tax. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition for this services contract. It was divided into one lot, covering standard taxi or MPV transport for SEND passengers. The published process information does not state a separate evaluation formula or eligibility threshold. The award is active and the contract is active.

For suppliers assessing comparable Surrey County Council requirements, this award indicates demand for standard taxi and MPV transport for people with SEND, using vehicles that carry between one and eight passengers. A credible competitor would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles and demonstrate the practical ability to provide transport for SEND clients. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that this scale of requirement has been delivered by a smaller business rather than only a large transport operator. The procurement used limited competition, so suppliers should be equipped to engage with a restricted competitive process. This is evidence relevant to providers of local passenger transport; it does not establish demand for unrelated transport services or larger-capacity vehicles.
