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 uses vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers. The contract relates to one transport lot within the council’s wider Client Transport Services programme. St Joseph’s Travels Ltd, based in Horley, was selected to provide the service. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, and the awarded supplier is also based in Surrey. The published scope identifies passenger transport rather than vehicle supply or transport infrastructure; it does not give individual routes or passenger details.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to St Joseph’s Travels Ltd. Surrey County Council used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. One lot, covering standard taxi or MPV SEND transport, was awarded. The contract was signed on 23 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £35,490. The award is active, and the contract is also recorded as active. The stated contract title refers to Client Transport Services 2026–2034, while the recorded contract period is shorter, ending in July 2028. No award evaluation criteria are recorded in the published process details.

This award shows a requirement for local passenger transport serving people with special educational needs and disabilities, using taxis or MPVs seating up to eight passengers. A credible competitor for this buyer’s comparable requirement would need suitable vehicles and the capacity to deliver reliable, repeatable passenger journeys in Surrey. St Joseph’s Travels Ltd is recorded as an SME, demonstrating that a small supplier was selected for this lot. The procurement route was a limited competition below threshold, so suppliers seeking similar work should be equipped to respond to a restricted competitive process. The requirement is specifically for SEND transport; general passenger transport experience alone may not demonstrate the operational suitability needed for this service.
