## Summary

Surrey County Council procured standard taxi and multi-purpose vehicle transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), for journeys requiring vehicles with between one and eight passenger seats. The service falls within passenger transport services. The requirement is for individual client transport rather than a broader transport network, and the stated scope is one standard-transport lot. The buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The contracting data does not identify the delivery locations, so the service cannot be tied to a particular town or route from the available scope.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to XP Cars Limited trading as Express Cars. The contract was signed on 15 October 2026 and runs from 19 October 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £13,997.14 including gross value, in GBP. The process used limited competition below the applicable threshold and concerned one lot for standard taxi/MPV SEND transport. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is active. No evaluation criteria are set out in the published contracting data, so the basis on which competing offers were compared cannot be described.

For suppliers considering similar SEND transport work for Surrey County Council, this award demonstrates demand for standard taxi and MPV journeys using vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers. A credible competitor would need to provide this kind of client transport and demonstrate the operational ability to deliver journeys for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The route used was limited competition below threshold, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be prepared to compete through a restricted process rather than assume an open tender. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this requirement was delivered by a smaller business. This is a focused transport requirement, not evidence of a need for larger buses or a general passenger transport network.
