UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured standard taxi or 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. The requirement sits within the council’s wider client transport services programme and is for passenger transport rather than vehicle supply. The buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. No delivery locality is identified in the contracting details, so the work should be understood as serving the council’s SEND transport requirement rather than a specifically named town or route. The awarded service is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected: Hilz Transport. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 23 October 2026 and is active, with a term from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £10,530.29 including gross value. The procurement comprised one lot for standard taxi/MPV transport, with vehicles carrying one to eight passengers. The published outcome identifies the service and successful supplier but does not set out evaluation criteria or the basis on which competing offers were assessed.

This award shows a small-scale requirement for SEND passenger transport delivered by taxi or MPV, with capacity for up to eight passengers. A credible supplier for similar work would need suitable vehicles and the operational ability to provide dependable transport for passengers with special educational needs and disabilities. The successful supplier is identified as an SME, indicating that a smaller transport operator can serve this requirement. The contract is a discrete service within Surrey County Council’s client transport programme, so relevant experience would include managing local passenger journeys and meeting the needs of SEND passengers, rather than providing general fleet or vehicle services. The council’s choice of a limited competition is also relevant to suppliers seeking comparable work through a restricted competitive route.
