## Summary

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is taxi or multi-purpose vehicle transport for one to eight passengers, with a passenger assistant (PA). This is a passenger transport service, rather than vehicle supply: the contracted provider transports clients and supplies the accompanying PA. The relevant lot is described as Enhanced Needs Transport – Taxi/MPV with PA. Surrey County Council is the buyer, and its address is in Reigate. The published contract information does not identify the individual routes or delivery locations, so the requirement is best understood as client transport for the council’s SEND service rather than a specified route package.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition for the transport service. STL was selected for the enhanced-needs taxi/MPV transport lot, and the contract was signed on 8 October 2026. Its term runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The contract value is £79,900. The process is described as a single lot, for transport vehicles carrying one to eight passengers with a PA. The published details identify the selected supplier and the contract period and value, but do not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements. The award is active; the contract is also active.

This award shows a defined local authority requirement for SEND passenger transport using taxi or MPV vehicles, with capacity for up to eight passengers and an accompanying PA. A credible competitor for similar work would need to provide suitable vehicles and dependable transport operations, as well as passenger assistants able to support clients with enhanced needs. The requirement combines transport and passenger support, so a provider offering vehicles alone would not match the scope. The award went to STL through a limited competition, indicating that the buyer used a restricted supplier selection route for this below-threshold requirement. Businesses with experience delivering specialist passenger transport for public-sector clients, and the operational capacity to coordinate vehicles and PAs, are best aligned with this work. The contract is a focused SEND transport service rather than a broad transport package.
