## Summary

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covered enhanced-needs transport using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with one to eight passenger seats. It falls within passenger transport services and was arranged as a service contract for the council. The named requirement was Lot 2 of the council’s wider Client Transport Services programme. The council is based in Reigate and the awarded supplier, Sonic Carz, is an SME based in Epsom. The work is therefore relevant to passenger transport operators, taxi and private-hire businesses, and specialist providers able to support SEND journeys with appropriately sized vehicles and suitable operational arrangements.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Sonic Carz. The award was made on 14 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 16 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a value of £31,800 gross. It covers one completed lot for enhanced-needs SEND transport by taxi or MPV with one to eight passenger seats. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime, rather than an open procedure. The awarded service category is transport services. The published outcome identifies Sonic Carz as the selected supplier. The procurement records a completed tender and an active contract, with no separate award scoring or weighting published in the process details.

For competing suppliers, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for small-scale, specialist passenger transport supporting children and young people with SEND. Credible providers would need access to taxis or MPVs accommodating up to eight passenger seats, together with the operational capability to deliver enhanced-needs journeys reliably. Local private-hire and taxi firms may be well placed, particularly SMEs able to manage individual or small-group transport rather than large scheduled services. Experience of SEND transport would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would the ability to work within council service arrangements and meet the practical needs of passengers requiring enhanced support. The council’s use of a below-threshold limited competition also shows a route through which established, relevant operators may be considered for similar requirements.
