UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured standard taxi and 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 requirement is part of the council’s client transport services and covers transport for SEND passengers. The awarded lot is described as standard transport; no individual routes or passenger journeys are set out in the available scope. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The supplier is based in Horley, but the data does not identify the places where journeys are delivered.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 26 October 2026 and awarded to Sprint transfers Ltd. Its value is £65,520. The contract runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2028. The procurement is divided into a single lot for standard taxi/MPV SEND transport, with vehicle capacity of one to eight passenger seats. The award is recorded against that lot. No award scoring criteria or eligibility requirements are included in the published process information.

For suppliers considering similar Surrey County Council transport requirements, this award demonstrates demand for standard taxi and MPV provision for SEND passengers, using vehicles seating one to eight people. A credible competitor would need to show it can provide suitable vehicles and reliably deliver passenger transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The successful supplier is a small business, indicating that this scale of requirement can be met by an SME rather than only a large operator. Suppliers should be prepared to compete through a limited competition below the relevant threshold. The work is a defined transport service within the council’s client transport programme, so relevant experience in SEND passenger transport and the operational capacity to provide taxi/MPV journeys would be directly pertinent.
