UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned 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 is part of the council’s wider client transport programme. The selected supplier is UK Car Service, based in Woking. The transport service is for Surrey County Council’s SEND transport requirements; no specific pick-up or delivery locations are stated in the available procurement details.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition for a single lot of enhanced-needs taxi and MPV transport. UK Car Service was awarded the contract, which was signed on 20 October 2026. The contract runs from 21 October 2026 to 30 July 2027 and is valued at £17,725.71 including tax. The published procurement details do not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions.

This award shows Surrey County Council buys SEND transport using small-capacity taxis and MPVs, including vehicles seating up to eight passengers, through limited competition for below-threshold work. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide reliable passenger transport suited to enhanced needs and demonstrate the operational capacity to meet the council’s transport requirements. UK Car Service, a small or medium-sized business based in Woking, secured this award, showing that a smaller local operator can compete for this scale of requirement. Relevant suppliers are those with suitable vehicles and experience delivering SEND transport in Surrey, and able to respond to a limited competition.
