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 is for vehicles with capacity for 1–8 passengers. The procurement covers one transport lot, classified as transport services. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate; the supplier is based in Woking. The available information identifies the service and vehicle size but does not describe specific routes or passenger numbers.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Surrey County Council used a limited competition below the relevant threshold. UK Car Service was awarded the contract for the single standard taxi/MPV transport lot. The contract was signed on 15 October 2026 and runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £17,914.29 including tax. The award is recorded as active, as is the contract. The tender is described as a light-touch services procurement. No award criteria or eligibility requirements are recorded in the available process details.

This requirement demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for SEND transport using standard taxis and MPVs carrying 1–8 passengers. UK Car Service, identified as an SME, was selected for the work, showing that a smaller supplier can deliver this scale of requirement. A credible competitor for similar transport work would need suitable vehicles and the capacity to provide passenger transport for children and young people with SEND. The procurement used a limited competition below the relevant threshold, so suppliers should be prepared to compete through a restricted invitation route rather than assume an open tender. The published scope does not identify route coverage, fleet volume or specific driver qualifications, so the clearest evidence of fit is the ability to provide the specified vehicle-based service.
