## Summary

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs passenger transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service is provided by taxi or multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), with capacity for one to eight passengers. It forms part of the council’s client transport services. The awarded service is classified as transport services.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. Sonic Carz was selected for the enhanced-needs transport lot. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 24 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its stated value is £35,428.57 including VAT. The award is for the taxi/MPV SEND transport service; the published award information does not give a separate award date or explain how bids were evaluated.

This award shows demand from Surrey County Council for SEND transport for passengers with enhanced needs, delivered by taxi or MPV with capacity for one to eight passengers. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to provide suitable vehicles and reliable passenger transport tailored to SEND journeys. The contract went to Sonic Carz, identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that a smaller transport supplier was selected for this requirement. The published details do not set out specific vehicle adaptations, staff qualifications, accreditations or minimum fleet capacity, so these should not be treated as stated requirements.
