## Summary

Surrey County Council procured standard passenger transport by taxi or multi-purpose vehicle for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service includes a passenger assistant and covers vehicles seating between one and eight passengers. The requirement is for client transport, rather than general passenger transport, and is intended to support SEND journeys. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council; the successful supplier, Tunsgate Cars Ltd, is based in Woking. The contract concerns one standard-transport lot. The published item classification describes transport services, but the procurement title and description define the more specific requirement: taxi or MPV journeys with an accompanying passenger assistant for SEND passengers.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. Tunsgate Cars Ltd was awarded the contract and signed it on 2 October 2026. The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2028, with a value of £104,500. The award is for the standard taxi/MPV transport lot, covering vehicles with one to eight passenger seats and a passenger assistant. The process data does not set out separate scored evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be described further. This is a completed award, not an opportunity to submit a bid for the contract.

For suppliers considering comparable future SEND transport work for Surrey County Council, this award demonstrates demand for standard taxi and MPV journeys for passengers with special educational needs and disabilities, with a passenger assistant included. A credible competitor would need access to suitable vehicles seating up to eight passengers and the ability to provide passenger-assistant support alongside transport. The award went to Tunsgate Cars Ltd, a small or medium-sized business based in Woking, showing that a local SME secured this requirement through a limited competition. The contract is a single standard-transport lot, indicating a defined service package rather than a broad transport programme. Relevant experience delivering SEND passenger journeys and the operational capacity to coordinate vehicles and assistants would be pertinent to competing for this specific type of requirement.
