## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is standard taxi or multi-purpose vehicle transport, with capacity for one to eight passengers, including wheelchair-accessible vehicles. The work is a passenger transport service, rather than vehicle supply. The contract relates to Lot 1, covering this standard taxi/MPV provision. The buying authority is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The service is for the council’s SEND transport requirements; no specific journey routes or delivery locations are identified in the procurement details.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected through a limited competition below the relevant threshold. SM Cars was awarded the contract. It was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded contract value is £23,860.57 including tax. The tender covered one lot for standard taxi/MPV transport, including wheelchair-accessible vehicles, and that lot is complete. The procurement was treated as a light-touch service. No award scoring or evaluation criteria are set out in the available process details.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for SEND passenger transport using taxis or MPVs that can carry up to eight passengers and accommodate wheelchair users. A credible provider for this requirement needs suitable accessible vehicles, the capacity to deliver passenger transport reliably, and the ability to meet the needs of children and young people with SEND. The selected supplier was a small business, demonstrating that this scale of requirement can be served by an SME. The route used was a limited competition, so a supplier seeking comparable work should be positioned to respond to invitations from the council and demonstrate relevant accessible-transport capability. The buyer and service type provide a focused indicator of the market for future comparable SEND journeys.
