Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), specifically enhanced-needs transport using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with one to eight passenger seats. The service is classified as transport services. The procurement was for one lot within the wider Client Transport Services 2026–2034 programme. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation and is based in Reigate. The requirement concerns passenger transport rather than vehicle supply, construction or general fleet management. It is therefore relevant to taxi operators, private-hire vehicle businesses and transport providers able to provide suitable cars or MPVs for enhanced-needs SEND journeys.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. CandG Cars Ltd, a Guildford-based small business, was selected for the transport requirement. The award was made on 15 September 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 16 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £28,530 including tax, in one contract. The tender used a light-touch regime and was evaluated through the limited competition route. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome relates to the single enhanced-needs transport lot; no separate award values or additional suppliers are recorded.

For businesses that did not win this procurement, the outcome shows that Surrey County Council buys a defined passenger transport service for enhanced-needs SEND users through a focused, below-threshold competition. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxis or MPVs with capacity for one to eight passenger seats and be able to organise and deliver client transport rather than simply supply vehicles. The awarded supplier is a small business, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by an SME-sized operator. Relevant businesses should assess their ability to provide this specific vehicle-based service at comparable small-contract scale and to respond through the council’s limited-competition route.
