UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport by taxi or multi-purpose vehicle for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is for passenger transport services using vehicles with between one and eight passenger seats. It forms part of the council’s Client Transport Services programme and is focused on journeys for passengers who need enhanced support. The contract is associated with Surrey County Council, based in Reigate, and serves the council’s SEND transport requirement. The published scope identifies transport services but does not describe specific routes, passenger numbers or operational arrangements.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Falcon Transport Ltd. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 15 October 2026. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £25,039.29 including gross value as stated. The requirement was arranged as one lot, for enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport, with vehicles seating one to eight passengers. The award data does not set out an evaluation basis or supplier eligibility conditions.

For suppliers competing for similar Surrey County Council SEND transport work, this award shows demand for small-vehicle journeys serving passengers with enhanced needs, rather than a general transport service. A credible provider would need to supply suitable taxis or multi-purpose vehicles within the one-to-eight-passenger range and demonstrate the operational capacity to deliver the council’s passenger transport requirement. Experience supporting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities would be directly relevant to the service profile. The award establishes that the council has used limited competition for this below-threshold requirement, and that a transport provider can win as a single supplier for a defined service lot. The process data does not identify required accreditations or specific experience thresholds.
