## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers transport from Woking to Merrist Wood, Woodlands Centre, Guildford, for three students. The service includes a passenger assistant, with the assistant trained in first aid and epilepsy awareness and able to follow the 999 protocol for epilepsy without emergency medication. The vehicle requirement is a medium multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The work is local to Surrey and involves safely transporting a small number of SEND students alongside appropriate passenger support.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Surrey County Council awarded the single lot to Surrey Auto Travel. The award date was 31 August 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded contract value is £42,338.57 gross, in GBP. Evaluation resulted in an active award and an active contract. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and was not above the relevant threshold. The selected supplier is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. No separate lot values or additional awards are recorded.

This procurement demonstrates a defined local demand for SEND passenger transport with a passenger assistant rather than vehicle-only provision. Suppliers best placed to compete when this requirement returns will be able to provide a suitable medium MPV, reliable journeys between Woking and Guildford, and trained passenger-assistant support for three students. Relevant operational capability includes first-aid training, epilepsy-awareness training and the ability to follow the 999 protocol where emergency medication is not available. Small transport businesses can be credible competitors if they can combine appropriate vehicle capacity with safeguarding-minded passenger care and dependable service delivery. The council’s use of a below-threshold limited competition also shows a route suited to smaller specialist operators.
