## Summary

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service is for taxi or multi-purpose vehicle journeys carrying between one and eight passenger seats, under the council’s wider client transport programme. It is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, construction or professional consultancy. Delivery is for Surrey County Council’s client transport requirements in Surrey. The scope is focused on Lot 2, covering taxi and MPV provision for passengers with enhanced needs. Businesses suited to this requirement are local or regional passenger transport operators able to provide appropriately sized vehicles and dependable journey services for SEND clients.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected Surrey Auto Travel, an SME, as the supplier. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 and runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £29,485.71, including the published gross amount. The award covers the single lot for enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport and is classified as a services contract. The procurement used the light-touch regime and limited competition rather than an open procedure. The published outcome records the award as active and the contract as active, with Surrey Auto Travel responsible for delivering the specified transport service.

This award shows that Surrey County Council buys focused SEND passenger transport from smaller specialist operators, using a below-threshold limited-competition route. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to operate taxi or MPV vehicles accommodating one to eight passengers and be able to deliver client transport for enhanced-needs users in Surrey. Relevant commercial strength is the ability to provide suitable vehicle capacity, organise reliable passenger journeys and sustain service delivery for a public-sector client. The awarded supplier’s SME status indicates that the requirement can suit a small business rather than only a large national transport group. Operators with a closely matched SEND transport offer would be the most relevant competitors when this need returns to market.
