## Summary

Surrey County Council procured standard taxi and MPV transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), with vehicles seating 1–8 passengers and a passenger assistant. The requirement is for passenger transport services, rather than vehicle supply, and forms Lot 1 of the council’s Client Transport Services programme. The council is based in Reigate, Surrey. The release identifies Surrey as the buying authority but does not give specific journey routes, pickup points or delivery areas, so the requirement can be described as SEND client transport for the council rather than tied to a named locality.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to AK carz Ltd. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and runs from 25 September 2026 to 28 July 2028. Its value is £88,800. The requirement was evaluated and awarded through the limited competition, but the published process information does not state the scoring criteria or explain how bids were assessed. The contract covers standard taxi/MPV transport for 1–8 passengers with a passenger assistant, for SEND journeys. No separate award value is stated, so the contract value is the reported financial amount for the awarded work.

This award shows Surrey County Council buys dedicated SEND passenger transport using standard taxis and MPVs, with capacity for 1–8 passengers and a passenger assistant. Suppliers competing for comparable work would need to provide suitable vehicles, arrange passenger-assistant cover and reliably deliver transport for children and young people with SEND. The council selected a small and medium-sized supplier through a limited competition, indicating that a large national fleet is not, by itself, a prerequisite for winning this requirement. Credible operators would need the capacity to cover the specified journeys and demonstrate that their service can meet the needs of SEND passengers. The award establishes demand for this specific service from Surrey County Council; it does not establish requirements for unrelated transport services.
