## Summary

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service uses taxis or multi-purpose vehicles carrying between one and eight passengers, with a passenger assistant accompanying the journey. The requirement is for passenger transport, rather than vehicle supply alone, and is identified as Lot 2 of the council’s wider client transport programme. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The available details do not identify particular schools, routes or delivery addresses, so the requirement is best understood as SEND transport for the council rather than a specified route package.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to GALAXY CARS, a Woking-based supplier. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £91,650. The council used a below-threshold limited competition for this service requirement. The opportunity was structured as a single lot, covering enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport with a passenger assistant. The published process information does not state the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements. The award is active and the contract is active.

For suppliers considering comparable future work from Surrey County Council, this award shows demand for SEND passenger transport in small-capacity taxis or MPVs, with a passenger assistant included as part of delivery. A credible provider would need to demonstrate that it can supply appropriate vehicles for journeys carrying one to eight passengers and reliably provide the accompanying assistance required for passengers with enhanced needs. The winning supplier is a small or medium-sized business, showing that this contract was delivered by an SME rather than requiring a large operator. The limited-competition route is also relevant: suppliers would need to be positioned to take part in a restricted competitive process, rather than relying on an open tender. The requirement is specifically council client transport for SEND, not general taxi services.
