## Summary

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), specifically enhanced-needs transport delivered by taxi or multipurpose vehicle (MPV) with capacity for one to eight passenger seats. The requirement is for transport services rather than vehicle supply, covering journeys undertaken for the council’s SEND transport provision. The named buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a local public authority. The successful supplier, Sonic Carz, is based in Epsom and provides an example of the type of local small and medium-sized transport operator able to deliver this work. The procurement falls within general passenger transport services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, Sonic Carz, was selected for the enhanced-needs SEND transport requirement. The award was made on 11 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £22,857.14 gross. The arrangement is a services contract under the light-touch regime, covering the taxi or MPV transport requirement for vehicles carrying one to eight passengers. The contracting process had a single completed requirement, and the award relates to the full service described for that requirement.

For transport operators, this procurement is evidence of Surrey County Council’s demand for specialist passenger transport supporting children and young people with SEND. A credible competitor would need access to suitable taxis or MPVs carrying one to eight passengers and the operational ability to provide enhanced-needs journeys reliably. The awarded supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller local operator rather than only a large national transport company. Businesses positioned for similar council work should be able to demonstrate dependable day-to-day vehicle availability, appropriate passenger transport operations and experience of meeting the practical needs of SEND travel. The route used was a limited competition below the relevant threshold.
