## Summary

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is for taxi or multi-purpose vehicle services carrying between one and eight passenger seats, under a wider client transport programme. The service is classified as transport services. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation, and the work is associated with Surrey. The requirement concerns providing passenger transport for clients whose enhanced needs mean that ordinary transport arrangements may not be suitable. It is a service contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity, and is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers with suitable small vehicles and the operational ability to support SEND journeys.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Surrey Auto Travel, an SME. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and runs from 16 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £34,870 including tax. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement title describes a wider 2026–2034 client transport programme, while this awarded contract covers enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport under Lot 2. The published outcome identifies Surrey Auto Travel as the selected supplier. The available award information records the transport service requirement and the competitive route, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or detailed award weighting.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement from Surrey County Council for small-scale passenger transport supporting SEND clients. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxi or MPV vehicles accommodating one to eight passenger seats and be able to deliver reliable client transport for people with enhanced needs. The relevant capability is therefore a combination of licensed or otherwise compliant passenger transport operations, suitable vehicle availability, dependable scheduling and the staff arrangements needed for SEND journeys. Surrey Auto Travel’s classification as an SME shows that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator rather than only a large transport company. Firms serving Surrey with comparable vehicles and SEND transport experience would be the closest competitors when this type of requirement returns.
