## 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 capacity for one to eight passenger seats, together with a passenger assistant (PA). It falls within transport services (CPV 60000000) and was structured as Lot 2 of the wider Client Transport Services 2026–2034 programme. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a local authority based in Reigate. The service is associated with delivery across Surrey, although the contracting data does not identify individual routes or destinations. The requirement is therefore relevant to operators providing accessible, assisted passenger transport for SEND clients, particularly taxi and small-MPV providers able to supply both vehicles and trained passenger-assistant support.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Ladysafe and Sons Ltd was selected as supplier for the single awarded lot, with the award active. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and has a gross value of £42,478.57. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender title describes a broader 2026–2034 client transport programme, while this awarded contract concerns enhanced-needs taxi/MPV transport with a PA. The published outcome records one supplier and one contract; no separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis is stated in the procurement data. This is an awarded contract rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This award is useful market evidence for businesses operating in SEND passenger transport. A credible competitor for this buyer would need to provide taxi or small-MPV capacity for between one and eight passengers, deliver enhanced-needs transport, and include a suitable passenger assistant as part of the service. The requirement points to an operating model combining dependable vehicles, appropriately supported journeys and staff able to work with children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. It is particularly relevant to small and medium-sized local transport operators, as the selected supplier is recorded as an SME. Businesses with experience coordinating assisted journeys, maintaining reliable vehicle availability and meeting safeguarding and passenger-care expectations would be well placed when Surrey County Council next tests this requirement.
