## Summary

Surrey County Council procured a passenger transport service for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) journey, described as a lift to Wishmore for one solo passenger travelling from Godstone. The service includes a personal assistant to provide support during the journey and requires a small multi-purpose vehicle. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply or general fleet hire. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, and the stated journey starts in Godstone and serves Wishmore. The requirement is a single route within Surrey, focused on safely transporting one supported passenger with an accompanying personal assistant.

The procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The tender is complete and the contract was awarded to SM Cars, a small or medium-sized enterprise; the contract was signed on 7 September 2026. The contract value is £157,040 gross, in GBP. The contract period runs from 8 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award covers one lot for the transport service. The procurement used a limited method, with the requirement classified as transport services. The selected supplier is SM Cars. The contract is recorded as active, so the procurement outcome is established rather than a current invitation to submit bids.

This award shows demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport on a defined local route, including support for a solo passenger and a personal assistant. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be able to provide a suitable small MPV, organise reliable passenger journeys from Godstone to Wishmore, and accommodate an accompanying support worker. Credibility would depend on delivering safe, dependable and appropriately supported transport for a vulnerable passenger, rather than simply providing a standard taxi journey. Smaller operators can be relevant: the appointed supplier is recorded as an SME. Businesses with practical experience of council client transport and the capacity to maintain a consistent single-passenger service would be suited to this requirement when similar work is next considered.
