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), using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with one to eight passenger seats. The service forms Lot 2 of the council’s wider client transport programme. It is a passenger transport service, rather than vehicle supply, and is intended to carry clients with enhanced transport needs. The named buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The procurement identifies the transport service and vehicle capacity, but does not state specific routes, pickup points or a delivery area beyond the council’s involvement.

The procurement is complete and an award has been made to STL. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition for this service. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £16,453.57 gross. The procurement is divided into lots, and this award relates to the enhanced-needs taxi/MPV service for one to eight passengers. The award records the transport service but does not set out further evaluation criteria or a stated basis for comparing offers.

For suppliers preparing to compete for this buyer’s future enhanced-needs SEND transport, the award demonstrates demand for taxi and MPV provision for vehicles carrying one to eight passengers. A credible provider would need suitable vehicles and the operational ability to transport passengers with enhanced needs reliably. Capacity to cover the routes and schedules specified when the requirement next comes to market would also matter. The contract was awarded through a limited competition, so suppliers should be prepared to respond to a restricted competitive process. The available award information does not identify specific vehicle adaptations, driver qualifications or accreditations, so those should not be assumed to be requirements for this service.
