UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs passenger 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 a transport service rather than vehicle supply, and sits within the council’s wider client transport programme. The named lot concerns journeys for passengers requiring enhanced support. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation; the published procurement identifies Reigate as its location, while the service delivery area is not stated. The selected supplier, CandG Cars Ltd, is based in Guildford. The transport service is classified as general transport services, excluding waste transport.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CandG Cars Ltd. The contract was signed on 23 October 2026, with a service period from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £85,885.71. The council used a below-threshold limited competition for a single lot covering enhanced-needs taxi and MPV transport. The award is active and the contract is active. The published process information does not state the evaluation criteria or particular eligibility requirements. The contract is for services and uses a light-touch regime. The stated contract title refers to a wider 2026–2034 programme, but the specific contract period for this award runs only to July 2029.

This award shows Surrey County Council buys dedicated passenger transport for SEND clients, including journeys requiring enhanced support in taxis or MPVs seating up to eight passengers. A credible competitor for this requirement would need suitable vehicles and the operational capacity to provide reliable, appropriately supported passenger journeys. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized business based in Guildford, demonstrating that the awarded requirement was placed with an SME rather than necessarily requiring a large national operator. The council used limited competition for this below-threshold service, so suppliers seeking similar work should be equipped to engage with a restricted competitive process. The published requirement gives no specific vehicle adaptations, staff qualifications, safeguarding standards or service-performance measures to use as further qualification benchmarks.
