UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured standard SEND transport by taxi or multipurpose vehicle, with capacity for 1–8 passengers and wheelchair accessibility. The service is for transporting clients with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement is classified as transport services and covers one standard-transport lot. The council is based in Reigate, and the selected supplier, The RoadRunners Group, is based in Redhill; the procurement data does not identify the specific delivery locations for journeys.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a limited competition below the procurement threshold. The RoadRunners Group was selected for the single lot; the contract was signed on 16 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 6 July 2028. Its value is £83,057.14. The process is identified as a light-touch services procurement. The published details do not set out an evaluation basis or participation requirements.

For suppliers considering similar SEND transport work for Surrey County Council, this award demonstrates demand for standard taxi and MPV journeys, including wheelchair-accessible vehicles and capacity for up to eight passengers. A credible competitor would need suitable accessible vehicles and the operational ability to deliver passenger transport reliably for clients with special educational needs and disabilities. The buyer used a limited competition for this below-threshold requirement, so suppliers should be equipped to respond to a restricted competitive process. The successful supplier was a large business, indicating that the contract was delivered by a supplier with established capacity; the award does not establish that smaller operators could not compete.
