## Summary

Surrey County Council commissioned standard transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers. The requirement is for passenger transport services, rather than vehicle supply, and is identified as Lot 1 of the council’s Client Transport Services programme. The contract is associated with the council, based in Reigate, Surrey. The awarded supplier, Sonic Carz, is based in Epsom. The service therefore concerns the delivery of individual or small-group journeys for SEND clients in Surrey, with vehicles suited to passenger numbers of up to eight. Its scope is limited to this standard taxi/MPV transport lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active; Surrey County Council selected Sonic Carz. The contract was signed on 23 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £30,940. The requirement was procured through a below-threshold limited competition. It was a single lot for standard taxi or MPV transport, with the stated vehicle capacity of one to eight passenger seats; no award evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information. The contract relates to SEND client transport services. These details describe the awarded contract and its term, rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

The award shows that Surrey County Council buys a focused, small-scale SEND transport service through a limited competition, with standard taxi or MPV vehicles carrying between one and eight passengers. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need access to suitable passenger vehicles and the operational capacity to deliver journeys for clients with special educational needs and disabilities. Local presence in Surrey may be commercially relevant to serving the council’s requirement, as the selected supplier is based in Epsom and the council is in Reigate. The award demonstrates that a small business can be selected for this service type. Suppliers with proven experience arranging reliable passenger transport for SEND clients would be well placed to assess similar work from this buyer.
