Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured standard taxi and MPV transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers vehicles with capacity for between one and eight passengers. It is a transport services contract, with St Joseph’s Travels Ltd, based in Horley, selected to provide the service. The procurement is one lot within the council’s wider client transport services programme. The available information identifies the buyer and the transport requirement but does not describe specific routes or journey arrangements.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The single lot was awarded to St Joseph’s Travels Ltd. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026, with a term from 23 October 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £4,960. The award is active; no separate award date or evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

This award shows that Surrey County Council buys small-scale taxi or MPV transport for SEND passengers through a limited competition. Suppliers seeking to be credible for a comparable requirement need access to suitable vehicles carrying up to eight passengers and the operational ability to provide passenger transport for this group. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, demonstrating that a provider of this size won the contract. The procurement details do not set out specific accreditations, staffing qualifications or service standards, so the evidence here is the requirement’s passenger capacity and SEND transport purpose.
