## 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 capacity for one to eight passenger seats, together with a passenger assistant (PA). It is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract, classified under CPV 60000000 for transport services excluding waste transport. The awarded service relates to Lot 2 of the wider Client Transport Services programme. Delivery is associated with Surrey County Council and the supplier, Sonic Carz, is based in Epsom. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority responsible for arranging this specialist client transport.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One award was made to Sonic Carz for the enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport service with a passenger assistant. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026, starts on 23 September 2026 and ends on 31 July 2027. Its value is £37,320 gross, with no VAT distinction in the published figure, and it is below the applicable threshold. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies one completed lot and one successful supplier. The available procurement record does not set out weighted evaluation criteria, so the award basis cannot be described beyond the limited competition procedure.

This requirement is relevant to operators providing specialist passenger transport for SEND clients, particularly businesses running taxis or MPVs with one to eight passenger seats and able to provide a passenger assistant. Sonic Carz is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller local transport business rather than only a large fleet operator. A credible competitor would need suitable vehicles, reliable passenger transport operations and the capacity to support enhanced needs journeys with an accompanying PA. Experience of working with children or passengers requiring additional support would strengthen a future response, although the published award does not identify specific accreditations, staffing qualifications or technical standards. The opportunity indicates recurring demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated, assisted SEND transport.
