## Summary

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles carrying 1–8 passengers, with a passenger assistant (PA). This is a passenger transport service, rather than vehicle supply: the requirement is to transport clients with enhanced needs with an assistant on board. The procurement is identified as Lot 2 of the council’s wider client transport services programme. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation. The contract concerns transport services in Surrey; the council is based in Reigate and the successful supplier, STL, is based in Woking.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to STL. The council used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 15 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its stated value is £42,585.71. The award is active and relates to the enhanced-needs taxi or MPV service, with 1–8 passenger seats and a passenger assistant, for SEND transport. This is a single identified lot. The published information does not set out bidder eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be described from these details.

For transport operators, this award shows Surrey County Council buys specialist SEND journeys in taxis or MPVs with a passenger assistant, rather than transport alone. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need suitable vehicles with capacity for up to eight passengers, the ability to provide or work with passenger assistants, and operational capability to deliver transport for clients with enhanced needs. Providers should be equipped to manage the practical demands of assisted passenger journeys in Surrey and to coordinate transport and support staff reliably. STL, a Woking-based supplier, secured this contract through a limited competition, offering a concrete indication of the scale and route used for this requirement. The contract’s short service period signals a defined transport requirement, rather than evidence of a long-term framework or a wider county-wide transport award.
