UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured standard taxi and multi-purpose vehicle transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service uses vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers. It is part of the council’s client transport programme and is intended to carry passengers requiring SEND transport. The contracted work is transport services for the council, with Hilz Transport based in Woking. No delivery location is stated in the procurement information.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Hilz Transport. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition for one lot covering standard taxi/MPV transport. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026, with a stated period from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £4,181.14 including tax. The award is active and the contract is active. The information identifies the transport category and lot but does not describe the evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements.

This award shows Surrey County Council buys standard, small-vehicle passenger transport for its SEND client transport service through limited competition. Suppliers seeking to compete for this specific requirement when it next comes to market would need to provide taxi or MPV transport suitable for journeys involving SEND passengers, using vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers. Credibility rests on being able to deliver the required passenger transport service for the council; the award demonstrates that a small supplier can win this type of work. The requirement is a modest, defined transport service rather than a broad transport contract, so providers whose operations and vehicle capacity match this scale are the closest fit.
