## Summary

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers enhanced-needs transport using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with one to eight passenger seats. Vehicles must be wheelchair accessible and operated with a passenger assistant (PA). This is a passenger transport service, rather than a vehicle supply or general taxi contract, and is intended to support the council’s SEND transport arrangements. The procurement relates to a single service package within the wider Client Transport Services programme. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation, and the selected provider is based in Woking. The work is therefore suited to transport operators able to provide accessible vehicles and passenger-assistant support for council-managed SEND journeys.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used a limited procurement method for a light-touch services regime. The single lot was awarded to County Cabs Limited, whose award is active. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £51,868.57 including tax. The award date is 17 September 2026. The contract covers transport services for the enhanced-needs SEND requirement, using taxi or MPV vehicles with one to eight passenger seats, wheelchair accessibility and a passenger assistant. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the published information does not set out separate price, quality or technical weightings.

This award gives transport operators a clear indication of the capability Surrey County Council uses for enhanced-needs SEND transport. A credible competitor would need to operate taxis or MPVs seating up to eight passengers, provide wheelchair-accessible vehicles and supply trained passenger-assistant support as part of the service. The requirement is particularly relevant to small and medium-sized transport businesses with accessible vehicle capacity, reliable driver and PA arrangements, and experience supporting passengers with additional needs. Operators should be able to manage council-commissioned passenger transport consistently and demonstrate that their vehicles and staffing model match the enhanced-needs specification. Experience in accessible community, education or specialist passenger transport would help a provider present a comparable service when this buyer next assesses similar requirements.
