## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for two students with special educational needs and disabilities travelling from Banstead to the Orpheus Centre in Godstone. The requirement covered one small multi-purpose vehicle with five passenger seats, capable of accommodating a Houdini harness, together with one passenger assistant to support behaviour. The service is therefore a combination of assisted passenger transport and in-vehicle support, rather than general taxi or fleet hire. Delivery is centred on journeys between Banstead and the Orpheus Centre in Godstone, Surrey. The procurement falls within transport services and was bought by Surrey County Council as the public-sector client.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One requirement was awarded to Sonic Carz, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The award was made on 7 September 2026, with the contract signed the same day. The contract is active from 8 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is worth £41,448.57. It is a services contract for the full transport requirement, with one completed lot. The published outcome identifies Sonic Carz as the selected supplier. The procurement used the light-touch regime and a limited procedure; the available outcome data does not state a separate quality, price or weighting basis for the evaluation.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport combining a suitable vehicle with direct passenger support. A credible future competitor would need to operate a small MPV with five passenger seats and be able to safely accommodate a Houdini harness. It would also need to provide a passenger assistant able to support students whose behaviour requires additional supervision during travel. Relevant operational capability includes dependable journeys between Banstead and the Orpheus Centre in Godstone, safe handling of specialist transport needs and continuity for a small number of passengers. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that this requirement can be delivered by a focused local transport operator rather than only a large national fleet business.
