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), with vehicles seating one to eight passengers and a passenger assistant. The requirement is for passenger transport services in Surrey. The contract title describes the broader programme as Client Transport Services 2026–2034, while this award covers the standard transport lot for SEND journeys. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The selected supplier is a car service business based in Woking. The transport is the core service; the passenger assistant is part of the specified arrangement, so suppliers would need to provide both suitable vehicles and accompanying support for the journeys.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a limited competition below the relevant threshold. One lot was awarded to uk car service. The contract was signed on 15 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £17,421.43. The award is recorded as active, and the selected supplier is the Woking-based uk car service. The competition covered standard taxi or MPV transport for SEND passengers, in vehicles with one to eight passenger seats and a passenger assistant. No separate award criteria or eligibility requirements are recorded in the procurement details, so the outcome establishes the supplier and contract terms but does not set out the scoring basis used to select it.

This award shows Surrey County Council buying a focused SEND transport service through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to organise taxi or MPV journeys for passengers with special educational needs and disabilities, provide vehicles seating up to eight passengers, and supply a passenger assistant as part of the service. The selected business is a small and medium-sized car service supplier, demonstrating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist transport business rather than only a large operator. Suppliers would need the operational capacity to coordinate suitable vehicles and assistants around the council’s passenger transport needs. The award is for a single lot of standard transport, so relevant experience in this specific service would be more persuasive than a broad transport offer alone.
