## Summary

Surrey County Council procured passenger transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) journey to NESCOT in Epsom. The requirement covers one student travelling from Bookham and Leatherhead, using a saloon car. The planned service is for five days each week, although the timetable could reduce this to four days. No passenger assistant is required. The route serves the Surrey area between the student’s home location and NESCOT, Epsom. This is a single-student, individual transport requirement rather than a general bus or group transport service. The relevant business activity is private-hire or passenger transport for children and young people with SEND, including regular school or college journeys in a saloon vehicle.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Sonic Carz, an SME, on 1 September 2026. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The active contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £21,021.43 including any applicable taxes, in pounds sterling. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process. One lot covered the transport service, and that lot is complete. The award remains active and the contract is active. The service is scheduled to start on Monday 7 September 2026, for the 2026–2027 academic period.

This award demonstrates that Surrey County Council uses limited competitions for small, below-threshold SEND transport requirements and appoints SME passenger-transport providers. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to provide a reliable saloon vehicle, carry a student safely between Bookham or Leatherhead and NESCOT in Epsom, and maintain a regular weekday service. The requirement does not call for a passenger assistant, so the relevant capability is dependable driver-led transport rather than escort provision. Providers should be able to manage school or college timetables, communicate reliably with the council and family, and deliver consistent safeguarding and punctuality for a single student. Local operating knowledge around Surrey and Epsom would support efficient delivery of similar council transport services.
