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 requirement is part of the council’s client transport services and covers passenger transport rather than vehicle supply. The named lot is for enhanced-needs taxi/MPV transport. Surrey County Council is the buyer, and its address is in Reigate. No delivery area or individual routes are identified in the available procurement details, so the work’s location beyond the council’s connection to Surrey cannot be stated.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to STL. Surrey County Council used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. One lot was awarded; the recorded award is active. The contract was signed on 23 October 2026 and runs from 9 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £12,068.57. The published information identifies the transport service and vehicle capacity, but does not give further evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions. The procurement is under the light-touch regime for services.

For suppliers considering similar future SEND transport work for Surrey County Council, this award shows demand for enhanced-needs journeys using taxis or MPVs with seating for up to eight passengers. A credible competitor would need suitable vehicles, the operational capacity to provide passenger transport, and the ability to meet the needs of passengers with SEND. The limited-competition route indicates that suppliers should be prepared for a competitive process involving a restricted field rather than an unrestricted open tender. The awarded requirement is a relatively small, single-lot service, so operators able to deliver a focused transport contract may be better matched than businesses whose model depends on large, multi-lot programmes.
