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), using vehicles with capacity for 1–8 passengers. The requirement is for passenger transport services, rather than vehicle supply. The contract is identified as Lot 1 of the council’s wider SEND client transport programme. The named buyer is Surrey County Council; the supplier is based in Woking, and the council is based in Reigate. The procurement concerns transport provision for SEND clients, with the described service covering standard taxi and MPV journeys.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Network station cars. The contract was signed on 26 October 2026 and runs from 9 November 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its stated value is £52,592.86 including gross value, in GBP. The council used limited competition below the applicable threshold. The award covers one lot, for standard taxi and MPV transport for SEND passengers. The published procurement information does not give award evaluation criteria, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described. The contract is active.

This award shows Surrey County Council buys SEND passenger transport through a below-threshold limited competition, with a defined requirement for standard taxi and MPV capacity of 1–8 passenger seats. Suppliers considering similar future work for this buyer should be able to provide reliable passenger transport suited to SEND clients and operate vehicles appropriate to the specified capacity. A small supplier was selected for this contract, indicating that the requirement was delivered by a business operating at SME scale. Credibility will depend on demonstrating the ability to deliver the required transport service for the contract term, rather than simply supplying vehicles. The opportunity is relevant to local taxi and private-hire operators able to undertake SEND journeys for the council. The procurement does not state specific accreditations or qualifications.
