## Summary

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service is taxi or multi-purpose vehicle transport, with capacity for one to eight passengers and a passenger assistant. The requirement is identified as Lot 2 of the council’s Client Transport Services programme. The service supports passenger journeys arranged by the council; the available description does not set out individual routes or journey schedules. The supplier is based in Epsom, Surrey, and the council is based in Reigate. This is passenger transport rather than vehicle supply or general freight work, and is relevant to operators able to provide taxi or MPV journeys with an accompanying passenger assistant for SEND passengers.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Ladysafe and Sons Ltd. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 2 October 2026 and runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £39,510.71. The requirement was procured as a single lot, covering enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport with a passenger assistant; the award record does not give an evaluation formula or criteria. The published contract information identifies the selected supplier but does not break the value down by journey, passenger or vehicle. This outcome reflects a council requirement for a defined SEND transport service, rather than a general transport contract.

For transport operators, this award shows Surrey County Council purchases a focused, relatively small-scale SEND passenger transport service using a limited competition. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxis or MPVs seating up to eight passengers and provide a passenger assistant as part of the service. The requirement is distinct from ordinary passenger transport: suppliers should be equipped to deliver journeys for passengers with enhanced needs and to work to council-arranged transport requirements. Ladysafe and Sons Ltd, an SME based in Epsom, was selected, demonstrating that a local small business can deliver this kind of contract. Operators with suitable vehicles, passenger-assistant capacity and experience in SEND transport are the most closely matched competitors for this buyer’s requirement.
