UK7 - Contract Details Notice
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 falls within passenger transport services. It is part of the council’s client transport programme, specifically its standard transport requirement for SEND passengers. The contract is associated with Surrey County Council, whose address is in Reigate, and the transport is for the council’s SEND service. No journey routes or delivery locations are identified, so the practical scope is best understood as contracted taxi and MPV provision for this passenger group rather than a specified route network.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Surrey County Council used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. HomeSafe Transport Ltd was selected for the single lot covering standard SEND taxi and MPV transport. The contract was signed on 23 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its stated value is £14,517.86 including tax. The award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement information does not set out an evaluation formula, award criteria, or supplier eligibility requirements, so the award outcome establishes the selected supplier but not the relative weight given to price or service quality.

For suppliers considering comparable Surrey County Council requirements, this award demonstrates demand for standard taxi and MPV journeys for passengers with special educational needs and disabilities, using vehicles seating one to eight passengers. A credible competitor would need to show that it can provide suitable vehicles and dependable passenger transport for this group, with the operational capacity to fulfil council-arranged journeys. The contract was let through a below-threshold limited competition, so suppliers should be prepared to compete through a restricted approach rather than assume an open tender. The selected provider was a large transport business, indicating that established delivery capability is relevant to this requirement; the published award does not specify particular accreditations, experience thresholds or staffing qualifications.
