Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is taxi or multipurpose vehicle transport, with one to eight passenger seats and a passenger assistant (PA). The service is part of the council’s wider client transport programme, but this awarded lot is specifically for SEND passengers with enhanced needs. The work is transport services, delivered for Surrey County Council; the supplier is based in Worcester Park. The service is intended to meet the travel needs of SEND clients using vehicles accompanied by a PA.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Movr Limited. The award was made on 15 October 2026, and the contract was signed that day. The contract runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027, with an awarded value of £32,520 including tax. This was a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The procurement was divided into lots, and the award relates to the enhanced-needs SEND taxi/MPV service. No award criteria or supplier eligibility requirements are recorded in the process information.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for specialist transport for SEND passengers with enhanced needs, using taxis or MPVs with one to eight passenger seats and a passenger assistant. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide appropriately sized vehicles and arrange PA-supported journeys for clients who require enhanced assistance. The service is a defined, relatively small transport contract rather than a broad passenger transport programme. Suppliers with the operational capacity to coordinate vehicles and passenger assistants for SEND journeys, and experience delivering this type of client transport, are best placed to compete when this specific requirement returns to market. The limited-competition route is also relevant to understanding how the council procured this service.
