Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles seating 1–8 passengers. The requirement falls under passenger transport services and is identified as Lot 2 of the council’s Client Transport Services programme. The contract is for transport provision in Surrey; the council is based in Reigate. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract, with the central requirement being journeys for passengers with enhanced needs. The available description does not set out routes or journey volumes, so the relevant market is operators able to provide suitable taxi or MPV transport for SEND passengers in Surrey.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. CandG Cars Ltd was awarded the contract and the award is active. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £23,985.71 including tax. The opportunity was divided into lots, and this award relates to the enhanced-needs taxi/MPV transport lot. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are set out in the available procurement details, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be described. The contract covers passenger transport for SEND, with vehicles specified to carry between one and eight passengers.

For transport operators, this award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for SEND journeys using taxis and MPVs rather than larger group transport. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need suitable vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers, and the operational ability to provide safe, dependable journeys for people with special educational needs and disabilities in Surrey. The selected business is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a smaller operator can win this kind of limited competition. Operators should be able to demonstrate relevant SEND passenger transport experience and the capacity to meet the council’s service needs, although the published details do not state specific accreditations or technical standards. The award is a focused transport service, so suppliers whose core business is passenger transport are the closest fit.
