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-passenger vehicles with one to eight passenger seats. The requirement is identified as Lot 2 of the council’s Client Transport Services programme. The service is passenger transport, rather than vehicle supply: suppliers provide journeys for clients whose needs call for enhanced transport arrangements. The named buying organisation is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The award information does not identify specific routes, individual passenger requirements or delivery locations, so the procurement can be characterised as SEND transport for the council rather than assigned to a particular town or route.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Camberley Taxis. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 26 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £22,260.71 including tax. The requirement was divided into a single lot, for enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport for SEND clients. The published award outcome identifies the selected supplier, but does not state evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements. No separate award date is recorded; the contract signature date is given above. The contract is active.

For transport operators, this award shows Surrey County Council buying a focused, relatively small-scale SEND passenger transport service through a limited competition. A credible future competitor would need suitable taxis or MPVs with capacity for one to eight passengers, and the ability to deliver journeys for clients with enhanced transport needs. Operators should be equipped to manage the practical demands of passenger transport for SEND clients, including dependable service delivery suited to individual needs. The selected supplier, Camberley Taxis, is based in Camberley, illustrating that the award went to a local taxi operator; this does not establish a mandatory geographic restriction. The available award details do not set out specific vehicle adaptations, staff qualifications, accreditations or evaluation weightings, so those should not be treated as confirmed requirements.
