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 requirement covers vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers and forms part of the council’s client transport services. The service is for passenger transport rather than vehicle supply. The awarded transport service was associated with Woking, where the selected supplier, STL, is based; the data does not identify specific passenger collection points or destinations. This is a local authority service requirement in Surrey, focused on arranging standard journeys for passengers with SEND. The relevant business area is accessible, appropriately managed passenger transport using taxis or MPVs, rather than general haulage or larger-scale bus operations.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The single lot covered standard taxi/MPV transport for SEND passengers. STL was awarded the contract, which was signed on 21 October 2026. The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 30 July 2027, and its value is £25,071.43 including tax. The tender is recorded as complete, and the award as active. No evaluation criteria or specific scoring basis are recorded in the contracting information. The stated requirement was for vehicles accommodating one to eight passengers; the service was treated as a single lot, with no separate awards reported.

For transport operators, the contract demonstrates Surrey County Council’s demand for standard taxi and MPV journeys for children and young people with SEND, delivered through a small, single-lot requirement and a limited competition route. A credible competitor would need practical capacity to provide vehicles seating one to eight passengers and to organise dependable passenger transport suited to SEND journeys. The awarded supplier was an established transport business, indicating that relevant operating capability is central to this requirement. Operators whose services are limited to freight, large coaches or vehicle sales would be less closely aligned. The work is specific to the council’s client transport service, so relevant experience in local passenger transport and the ability to serve the council’s requirements are more pertinent than unrelated transport services.
