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 covers vehicles with capacity for 1 to 8 passengers. The work is client transport, intended to support SEND journeys arranged by the council. The successful supplier, Jewel Cars Gatwick Limited, is based in Redhill. The procurement identifies the service as transport services and relates to a single standard-transport requirement. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a county-level public authority. The requirement is for passenger transport rather than vehicle supply or infrastructure works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Jewel Cars Gatwick Limited was selected for the standard taxi/MPV SEND transport service. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £14,227.50 including gross value as recorded. The procurement covered one lot. The data identifies the procedure as limited competition but does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements. The service falls under the light-touch regime. The award is active and the contract is recorded as active.

This award shows Surrey County Council buying a defined, small-scale SEND passenger transport service using standard taxis or MPVs with capacity for up to eight passengers. Jewel Cars Gatwick Limited, an SME based in Redhill, was selected, demonstrating that a smaller local operator can deliver this type of requirement. Suppliers competing for similar work from this buyer would need suitable vehicles and the operational capacity to provide reliable passenger transport for children and young people with SEND. Experience arranging and delivering specialist client journeys, with an ability to serve Surrey County Council’s requirements, would be relevant. The procurement used a limited competition, so suppliers should be able to respond effectively when approached through that route.
