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 service covers vehicles with between one and eight passenger seats and is intended to provide client transport. The awarded lot is identified as standard transport; the available description does not set out particular journeys or passenger numbers. The work is in Surrey, with the council based in Reigate. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract, and is relevant to operators able to provide taxi or MPV transport for SEND passengers.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to EAGLE EXPRESS. It was run as a below-threshold limited competition, under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £16,817.14 including VAT. The process was divided into one lot, for standard taxi/MPV transport, and the award covers that lot. The available award information does not set out evaluation criteria or explain how bids were assessed.

For suppliers preparing to compete for this council’s SEND transport requirement in future, the award indicates demand for standard taxi and MPV journeys using vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers. A credible operator would need to show that it can deliver dependable passenger transport appropriate to children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities, and provide suitable vehicles within the specified capacity range. The selected supplier was a taxi operator, so relevant operating experience and the ability to organise this type of service are commercially pertinent. The contract was relatively small in scale and procured through a below-threshold limited competition, making an ability to respond to a focused, limited competition relevant to suppliers targeting this requirement.
