## Summary

Surrey County Council commissioned standard taxi or multi-purpose vehicle transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service is for journeys using vehicles with one to eight passenger seats. The requirement is classified as transport services (CPV 60000000). The buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The supplier, Tunsgate Cars Ltd, is based in Woking, but the procurement data does not identify the specific delivery locations or routes. This is an individual standard-transport requirement within the council’s wider Client Transport Services programme for SEND, rather than a general passenger transport service.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Tunsgate Cars Ltd. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The award is recorded as active, and the contract was signed on 9 October 2026. The contract runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2027. Its value is £1,439.29 including gross value as reported. The tender was divided into a single standard taxi/MPV transport lot, covering vehicles with one to eight passenger seats. No award evaluation criteria are reported, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be described. This records the outcome and contract period for the awarded SEND transport service.

For transport operators, the award shows that Surrey County Council buys SEND journeys using standard taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with capacity for up to eight passengers, through limited competition for below-threshold requirements. A small local operator was selected, so this requirement was within the reach of an SME rather than only large transport groups. A credible competitor for similar work would need to provide suitable taxi or MPV capacity and demonstrate that it can deliver the council’s SEND transport requirement. The contract concerns a defined, small-scale service rather than a broad transport network. Its award provides a practical indication of the type of vehicle-based provision and supplier profile the council has accepted for this specific category of client transport.
