UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council bought enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with 1–8 passenger seats. The service is part of the council’s client transport programme and covers transport journeys for passengers requiring enhanced support. The procurement is for transport services, rather than vehicles or vehicle supply. The awarded work relates to a single lot for enhanced-needs taxi/MPV transport. The supplier is based in Woking, and the buying council is based in Reigate; the source data does not establish the precise locations where journeys are delivered.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used below-threshold limited competition. The single lot was awarded to STL. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £76,402.50 including tax. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is recorded as active. The procurement is classified as a light-touch services regime. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are stated in the published procurement data, so the basis on which competing suppliers were assessed cannot be identified from these details.

This award provides a concrete example of Surrey County Council buying taxi or MPV transport for passengers with enhanced needs related to SEND. A supplier seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to show it can provide suitable vehicles with capacity for 1–8 passengers and deliver passenger transport tailored to enhanced support needs. The council used a limited-competition route for this below-threshold requirement, so relevant suppliers would need to be positioned to participate in a targeted competition. The awarded work is a single-lot service at modest scale, suited to a transport operator able to take on a defined council contract. The procurement data does not describe specific vehicle adaptations, staff qualifications, safeguarding standards or service performance requirements, so no particular capability in those areas can be inferred.
