## Summary

Surrey County Council commissioned standard SEND transport by taxi or multi-purpose vehicle, carrying between one and eight passengers. The service is for transporting clients with special educational needs and disabilities. The stated scope is standard transport rather than a broader transport category; the contract covers the first lot of the council’s Client Transport Services programme. Surrey County Council is based in Reigate, and the awarded supplier, SM Cars, is based in Woking. The procurement data identifies no delivery place beyond the council and supplier locations, so the work should be understood as a Surrey County Council transport requirement rather than assigned to a more specific destination.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. SM Cars was selected for the standard taxi/MPV SEND transport lot. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026, with a period running from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its stated value is £23,660. The process was divided into one lot, covering standard taxi or MPV transport for one to eight passengers. The published contracting data does not give an evaluation formula or award criteria, so the basis for choosing SM Cars beyond the limited-competition route cannot be described.

For suppliers considering comparable SEND transport work for Surrey County Council, this award shows a requirement for standard taxi and MPV capacity, with vehicles able to carry between one and eight passengers. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate reliable provision of this passenger transport service for clients with special educational needs and disabilities, and the ability to match the standard transport scope. The selected provider is a small and medium-sized business based in Woking, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME rather than necessarily requiring a large transport operator. The competition was limited and below threshold, so suppliers should be prepared for a restricted competition route when pursuing this specific type of work for the council.
