Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service is for taxi or MPV journeys carrying between one and eight passengers, under the council’s client transport programme. It falls within passenger transport services, covering the provision of vehicles and drivers to carry clients as required by the council. The relevant service category is transport services excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). The requirement was divided into a single service lot, covering this enhanced-needs taxi/MPV provision. It is a public-sector transport requirement managed by Surrey County Council, with the awarded supplier based in Surbiton. The procurement concerns operational passenger transport rather than vehicle supply, construction or general consultancy.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected Zedcarz Limited for the enhanced-needs transport service. The award was made on 22 September 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £25,628.57. The award is active and the contract is active. The process used a limited procurement method under the light-touch regime. The contract covers the single completed lot for taxi or MPV transport with one to eight passenger seats. The published outcome identifies Zedcarz Limited as the awarded supplier; no separate awards or contract values are reported for this requirement.

This procurement is relevant to taxi, private-hire and small passenger-transport operators able to provide vehicles carrying between one and eight passengers for enhanced-needs SEND journeys. A credible competitor would need practical capacity for scheduled client transport, suitable taxi or MPV vehicles, and drivers able to support passengers with special educational needs and disabilities. Experience delivering reliable, planned passenger journeys for a public authority would strengthen a future response, as would the ability to manage daily routing, passenger requirements and service continuity across the council’s transport operation. The award to an SME shows that the requirement can suit a smaller specialist operator rather than only a national transport company. The limited-competition route also makes awareness of council procurement opportunities and readiness to respond important.
