## Summary

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service is taxi or MPV transport for groups of one to eight passengers, with a passenger assistant accompanying each journey. The requirement forms part of the council’s client transport services programme and covers one service lot. The transport is for the council’s SEND clients in Surrey; the supplier is based in Surrey. This is passenger transport rather than vehicle supply or general transport infrastructure work, and is relevant to operators able to provide suitable vehicles and passenger-assistant support for journeys involving passengers with enhanced needs.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Surrey Auto Travel, a small and medium-sized supplier. Surrey County Council used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 23 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £170,340. The contract covers the single enhanced-needs transport lot. The published data does not set out evaluation criteria or detailed eligibility requirements, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be described further. The award is active and the contract is active.

This award shows demand from Surrey County Council for SEND transport combining taxi or MPV capacity with a passenger assistant, for journeys carrying between one and eight passengers. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to operate an appropriately sized local passenger-transport service and provide passenger assistants able to support people with enhanced needs. The selected supplier is an SME, demonstrating that this service can be delivered by a smaller operator; the award does not establish a requirement for a large fleet or a particular accreditation. Experience organising reliable, supported transport for SEND clients would be directly relevant to this buyer’s requirement. The contract also provides a reference point for the service model and scale Surrey County Council has purchased.
