## Summary

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The awarded requirement was standard transport using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with capacity for one to eight passenger seats. The service is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation, with the requirement associated with Surrey and delivered for its client transport needs. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general logistics contract. Businesses operating accessible, reliable taxi or MPV services for SEND passengers are the closest commercial match, particularly those able to provide safe and suitable journeys for individual passengers or small groups.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used a limited procurement method under the light-touch regime and covered one lot for standard taxi/MPV transport. XPERT CARS was awarded the contract on 18 September 2026 at a value of £32,604 gross. The contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 30 July 2027 and is active. The overall tender was titled Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND, although this award covers the specified standard transport lot and its stated contract period. The published outcome records an active award and contract for the transport service, rather than an unsuccessful or cancelled procurement.

This award indicates a recurring need for small-vehicle SEND transport within Surrey County Council’s client transport programme. Competitors seeking similar work would need an established taxi or MPV operation, vehicles suitable for journeys involving SEND passengers, and the capacity to provide dependable passenger transport rather than occasional private hire alone. Credibility would come from demonstrable experience transporting children or vulnerable passengers, robust safeguarding and driver-management arrangements, reliable scheduling and a service model able to meet council journey requirements. A small or medium-sized local operator can be relevant: the selected supplier is recorded as an SME. Firms should also be able to operate within a limited-competition procurement route and respond clearly to the council’s transport specifications.
