UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured standard passenger transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles seating one to eight passengers. The requirement is for passenger transport services, rather than vehicle supply, and concerns the first lot of the council’s wider client transport programme. STL was selected to provide the service. The council is based in Reigate, Surrey; the supplied information does not identify specific routes, passenger numbers or delivery addresses. Suppliers assessing this buyer’s requirement should therefore focus on the provision of small-vehicle transport for SEND passengers, rather than assume a broader county-wide service or particular journey pattern.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to STL. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is also active; it was signed on 23 October 2026. The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. The contract value is £17,421.43 including gross value, for standard taxi or MPV transport with one to eight passenger seats under the SEND lot. The process was divided into a single lot, which is complete. No award criteria or eligibility requirements are stated in the procurement information, so the recorded outcome does not explain how bids were assessed or what supplier qualifications were required.

This award shows that Surrey County Council buys small-vehicle transport for passengers with special educational needs and disabilities through a limited competition below the applicable threshold. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to provide taxi or MPV transport with capacity for one to eight passengers and be able to meet the practical needs of SEND journeys. The contract is modest in scale and relatively short in duration, making it relevant to operators able to deliver a focused transport service rather than a large, long-term network. The available procurement information does not establish specific vehicle adaptations, driver checks, safeguarding standards, route coverage or service volumes, so suppliers should not assume these formed part of the stated requirements.
