Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured standard taxi and MPV transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service covers vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers and is identified as the first lot of the council’s wider client transport programme. The requirement is for passenger transport rather than vehicle supply. Surrey County Council is the buyer; the contract is associated with Surrey, with the winning supplier based in Woking. The service supports the council’s SEND transport needs, using taxis or MPVs suitable for small passenger groups.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. MPCars was selected for the standard taxi/MPV SEND transport lot. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026 and runs from 3 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its stated value is £10,182.86 including VAT. The procurement title refers to a wider 2026–2034 client transport programme, but the recorded contract period for this award is the shorter period stated above. The award concerns transport services, and this is the outcome recorded for the lot.

For suppliers preparing to compete for this buyer’s future SEND taxi and MPV transport requirements, credibility will depend on being able to provide standard vehicles seating up to eight passengers and deliver reliable passenger transport in Surrey. The selected supplier, MPCars, is based in Woking, showing that a local transport operator was considered suitable for this requirement. Operators with the vehicles, drivers and operational capacity to serve small passenger groups are relevant to this type of work. The council used a limited competition below the procurement threshold, so suppliers should be equipped to respond to a restricted competitive process. This award is a specific example of the council buying SEND transport by taxi or MPV, rather than a broader transport or vehicle-supply contract.
