## Summary

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers. The requirement sits within the council’s Client Transport Services programme and covers passenger transport rather than vehicle supply. The service is for journeys arranged by the council to support SEND clients. Surrey County Council is the buyer. The contract is associated with a lot for enhanced-needs taxi and MPV transport, and the awarded service is classified as transport services. The supplier, IBEX CARS, is based in Horsham. No specific journey routes or delivery locations are described, so the requirement is best matched by passenger transport operators able to provide appropriate SEND transport for the council.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to IBEX CARS. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 29 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £20,652.86 including tax. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The procurement was divided into a lot for enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport, with vehicles carrying one to eight passengers; that lot is complete. The award is active and the contract is active. The published information does not give a separate award date or evaluation criteria, so the selection basis beyond the limited competition route cannot be stated. The award covers the SEND transport requirement, with IBEX CARS named as the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for council-arranged transport for people with special educational needs and disabilities, using taxis or MPVs accommodating one to eight passengers. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles and have the capacity to deliver enhanced-needs journeys reliably for Surrey County Council. The limited-competition route indicates that suppliers should be positioned to respond to a focused competition rather than assume an open tender. IBEX CARS, a Horsham-based transport supplier, secured the contract, showing that a supplier located outside Surrey can serve this council requirement. The opportunity is modest in scale and specific to SEND passenger transport; operators whose services, fleet and delivery capability match this type of work are the most relevant comparators.
