## Summary

Surrey County Council procured passenger transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is standard taxi or multi-purpose vehicle transport, carrying between one and eight passengers, with a passenger assistant (PA). The published description identifies this as Lot 1; the award covers the transport service rather than vehicle supply. The buying authority is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The data does not identify specific pickup, destination or delivery locations, so the requirement can only be located to the council’s area rather than to named routes or sites.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Sonic Carz, an Epsom-based supplier. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The award is active and the contract is active; it was signed on 22 October 2026. The contract runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is valued at £27,100 gross. The process covered one lot, for standard taxi or MPV transport with a passenger assistant. The published data does not give the scoring criteria or any specific eligibility requirements, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be described beyond the limited competition route.

For suppliers considering comparable future SEND transport work for Surrey County Council, this award demonstrates demand for standard taxi and MPV journeys for groups of up to eight passengers, with a passenger assistant included. A credible competitor would need to provide suitable vehicles and reliable passenger transport, and be able to supply or coordinate the assistant required for each journey. The selected supplier is an SME based in Epsom, showing that this requirement was delivered by a local small business rather than necessarily requiring a large fleet operator. The work is a defined, relatively small-scale transport service under a limited competition route. Providers with local operating reach and the capacity to meet both vehicle and passenger-assistance needs are the closest fit.
