UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service uses taxis or multi-purpose vehicles carrying one to eight passengers, with a passenger assistant (PA) accompanying the journey. This is passenger transport rather than vehicle supply: the requirement is to provide transport with an assistant for passengers with enhanced needs. The procurement forms part of the council’s Client Transport Services programme and covers Lot 2. The council is based in Reigate, Surrey; the data does not identify the specific routes or delivery locations for this lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Brookwood Cars and Taxis. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026 and runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £46,821.43 including tax. The award record identifies transport services for Lot 2, but does not set out an evaluation formula or selection criteria. The scope is described as enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport for one to eight passengers with a passenger assistant.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for Surrey County Council, the awarded requirement demonstrates demand for managed passenger transport for children and young people with SEND, using taxis or MPVs and providing a passenger assistant. A credible competitor would need access to suitable vehicles with capacity for up to eight passengers, and the ability to provide assistants alongside transport. The successful provider was Brookwood Cars and Taxis, a transport and taxi business. This is a relatively focused service requirement rather than a large-scale transport network contract; providers whose operations can cover the council’s required journeys and coordinate vehicle and assistant provision are the closest fit. The competition was limited, so familiarity with the council’s procurement route may also be commercially relevant.
