UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured standard taxi and MPV transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service covers vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers and falls within passenger transport services. It is a client transport requirement, rather than a purchase of vehicles. The named buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The contract title identifies the service as part of the council’s 2026–2034 SEND client transport programme, but the awarded lot is specifically standard taxi/MPV transport. No journey-level destinations or delivery sites are identified in the procurement details, so the location of individual routes cannot be established from the published scope.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. Sprint transfers Ltd was selected for the standard taxi/MPV transport lot. The contract was signed on 14 October 2026 and runs from 15 October 2026 to 28 July 2028. Its awarded value is £64,268.57 including the stated gross amount. The procurement has one awarded lot, covering the SEND transport service described above. The data does not state separate scoring criteria or explain how bids were evaluated, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be detailed beyond the limited competition route.

For suppliers of specialist passenger transport, this award demonstrates Surrey County Council’s demand for standard taxi and MPV journeys supporting children and young people with SEND, using vehicles seating up to eight passengers. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show it can provide reliable, appropriately sized vehicles and manage passenger transport services for this client group. The awarded supplier is a small or medium-sized business, showing that the contract was delivered by an SME; the available details do not identify any required accreditation, specific fleet size, staffing qualifications or technical experience. The requirement is a defined transport lot within the council’s SEND client transport programme, so relevant capability is in delivering this type of service for the council rather than broader transport work.
