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 requirement is for taxi or multi-purpose vehicle journeys carrying between one and eight passengers, with a passenger assistant (PA). It forms part of the council’s client transport services and is focused on transporting passengers who need additional support. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The procurement identifies transport services as the work involved, with the contract title describing the wider programme as running from 2026 to 2034; the awarded contract covers a shorter period. The supplier’s location is Worcester Park. The work is local-authority transport rather than a general passenger transport service, and the enhanced-needs and PA elements are central to its scope.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Movr Limited. It was run as a below-threshold limited competition. The award date was 24 September 2026, and the contract was signed that day. The active contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £37,157.14 including tax. The requirement is organised as one lot, covering enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport with a passenger assistant; Movr Limited is the selected supplier for that lot. The procurement was treated as a light-touch service. No award evaluation basis or specific eligibility requirements are stated in the published process information. The title refers to a broader 2026–2034 client transport programme, but the contracted period for this award is the shorter period given above.

For suppliers considering similar Surrey County Council requirements, this award demonstrates demand for supported SEND passenger transport using taxis or MPVs, with capacity for up to eight passengers and a passenger assistant. A credible competitor would need to provide vehicles and dependable journey operations suited to passengers with enhanced needs, together with appropriately capable passenger-assistant provision. The work is a defined local-authority transport service rather than a broad fleet or general transport contract, and the award went to a large supplier. Suppliers should be able to deliver the specified passenger capacity and support arrangements reliably at the scale of a single-lot requirement. The route used was a limited competition below the relevant threshold, so businesses seeking comparable work should monitor the council’s client transport purchasing and be prepared to compete through a restricted process.
