## Summary

Surrey County Council commissioned enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is for taxi or multi-purpose vehicle transport carrying between one and eight passengers, with a passenger assistant accompanying the journey. The service is intended to transport clients who need this enhanced support. The work is classified as transport services and is associated with the council’s Client Transport Services programme. The buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The contract data does not identify particular routes, pickup points or delivery areas, so the stated scope is the supported passenger transport service rather than named journeys or locations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Sonic Carz, a supplier based in Epsom. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The awarded contract value is £34,171.43 including gross value, in pounds sterling. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. This is one completed lot for enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport with a passenger assistant. The published contracting data gives no award date separate from the contract signature date. No evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions are stated in the procurement information.

This award shows demand from Surrey County Council for a small-scale, defined SEND transport service: taxi or MPV capacity for one to eight passengers, with a passenger assistant. Sonic Carz, an SME based in Epsom, was selected through a limited competition, indicating that a locally based small operator can deliver this requirement. A credible competitor for comparable work would need suitable taxi or MPV vehicles, the capacity to provide journeys for passengers with enhanced needs, and passenger assistants able to accompany them. The service combines vehicle provision and supported passenger transport, so operators should be able to coordinate drivers and assistants reliably for client journeys. The award is specific to SEND transport and should be relevant to providers with experience or operational capability in this form of assisted transport.
