UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured standard SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) passenger transport by taxi or MPV, with capacity for one to eight passengers. The service is for transporting clients as part of the council’s SEND transport provision. This is passenger transport rather than general freight or vehicle supply. The named buying organisation is Surrey County Council, and the supplier is based in Epsom; the data does not identify the transport routes or delivery locations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Sonic Carz. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and runs from 6 October 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £14,850. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The procurement covered one lot for standard taxi or MPV transport for SEND clients. No award evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are recorded in the available process details.

For suppliers assessing future Surrey County Council SEND transport requirements, this award shows demand for standard taxi and MPV journeys with capacity for up to eight passengers. A credible competitor would need to provide dependable passenger transport suitable for SEND clients and operate vehicles appropriate to the stated passenger range. Sonic Carz, an SME based in Epsom, was selected through a limited competition, illustrating that a smaller local transport business can win this type of work. Suppliers whose core business is freight, vehicle sales or larger-capacity coach services are less closely aligned with this requirement. The contract provides evidence of a defined, relatively small-scale transport need within the council’s SEND provision.
