## Summary

Surrey County Council has procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles seating 1–8 passengers. The requirement is for client transport services under Lot 2 of the council’s 2026–2034 SEND transport programme. The service is passenger transport rather than vehicle supply, with the vehicle size and enhanced-needs focus defining the work. Surrey County Council is the buyer. The contract is associated with Surrey; the selected supplier is based in Woking. The published scope does not describe individual routes, passenger numbers or specific accessibility provisions, so the requirement should be understood as specialist taxi/MPV transport for SEND passengers rather than a wider school transport or general fleet contract.

The procurement is complete and awarded to STL. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The award is active and the contract is active; it was signed on 15 October 2026. The contract runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2029, with an awarded value of £107,357.14 including gross value. The process is for one lot covering enhanced-needs transport by taxi or MPV, with capacity for 1–8 passengers. The available award information identifies the service category as transport, but does not set out scoring weights or detailed evaluation criteria. No separate award date is recorded; the contract signing date is provided as the dated outcome. This was a limited competition rather than an open tender.

For suppliers considering comparable Surrey County Council work, this award indicates demand for a focused SEND passenger transport service using taxis or MPVs with up to eight passenger seats. Credible competitors would need suitable vehicles and the operational capacity to provide reliable journeys for passengers with enhanced needs, while organising delivery around the council’s client transport requirement. The contract went to STL through a limited competition, so the buyer’s chosen supplier had been selected from a restricted process rather than an unrestricted public tender. Transport operators with experience delivering SEND or other specialist passenger journeys, and the ability to match vehicle capacity to passenger needs, are the closest fit. This is evidence of a specific council requirement, not a broad opportunity for vehicle suppliers or general transport providers without relevant operating capability.
