UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers. The service sits within the council’s wider Client Transport Services programme and concerns passenger transport rather than vehicle supply. The contract is for delivery in Surrey; the council is based in Reigate. The awarded requirement is identified as Lot 2 and covers transport services for passengers with enhanced needs. Suppliers in the passenger transport sector with suitable taxi or MPV vehicles and the ability to provide transport for SEND passengers would recognise the service area.

The procurement is complete and awarded to STL. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its stated value is £22,744.64 including gross value, in pounds sterling. The procurement was divided into a single identified lot, covering enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport for SEND passengers, and the award is active. The published data does not state a separate evaluation formula or detailed award criteria; the recorded procurement method is limited competition. The contract is below the applicable threshold. This is an award outcome, rather than an opportunity to submit a bid for this contract.

For transport providers, this award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for SEND passenger transport using taxis or MPVs accommodating up to eight passengers. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need appropriate vehicles and the operational ability to transport passengers with enhanced needs safely and reliably. Providers would also need to demonstrate the capacity to deliver the council’s service requirement across the contract period, rather than simply offer general passenger transport. The buyer used a limited-competition route for this below-threshold service, and STL was selected. The contract provides evidence of the type and scale of transport service the council purchases; it does not establish that the same work will return to market or when that might happen.
