UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned standard SEND transport by taxi or multi-purpose vehicle, with capacity for one to eight passengers. The service is for transporting clients with special educational needs and disabilities. The awarded requirement is a single standard-transport lot, classified as transport services. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation, and the successful supplier, STL, is based in Woking. The process title covers client transport services for SEND, while the specific requirement is standard taxi/MPV transport. The published contract information does not describe routes, journey frequency, passenger assistance arrangements or vehicle specifications beyond the one-to-eight-seat capacity.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. STL was selected for the standard SEND taxi/MPV transport lot. The contract was signed on 19 October 2026, with a contract period from 2 November to 11 December 2026. Its value is £3,621.43 including tax. The procurement was run as a single lot. The award information identifies the transport service and winning supplier, but does not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements. The recorded contract period is short, and the awarded value relates to this specific contract rather than a wider programme total.

For suppliers of accessible or specialist passenger transport, this award shows that Surrey County Council purchases standard taxi and MPV journeys for clients with special educational needs and disabilities through limited competition below the threshold. A credible competitor would need suitable one-to-eight-seat vehicles and the operational ability to deliver client transport reliably for the council. Experience handling SEND journeys would be relevant to demonstrating fit with the requirement, although the recorded award does not set out formal experience, accreditation or vehicle-accessibility conditions. The contract is a small, narrowly scoped service rather than evidence of a large transport operation. STL, based in Woking, won this award; suppliers serving Surrey and able to provide the specified vehicle capacity are the closest commercial peers.
