## Summary

Surrey County Council procured standard taxi and multi-purpose vehicle transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers and is identified as transport services. It is the first lot of the council’s wider Client Transport Services programme, titled 2026–2034. The service is for client journeys arranged by the council; the procurement data does not identify specific delivery towns or routes. The selected supplier, Abbex Cars, is based in Brentford. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a local authority serving Surrey. This requirement concerns passenger transport rather than vehicle purchase, fleet supply or general transport consultancy.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition for one lot covering standard taxi/MPV SEND transport. The contract was awarded to Abbex Cars and signed on 26 October 2026. Its value is £15,679.29 including tax, and the contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement records do not state a separate award date or evaluation criteria, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described. The contract relates to the transport service only; it does not indicate multiple awarded suppliers or lots. The wider programme title refers to 2026–2034, but the recorded contract period for this award is the shorter period stated above.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to provide taxi or MPV passenger transport suitable for SEND journeys, using vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers. The award demonstrates that Surrey County Council buys this service through limited competition below the applicable threshold, and that a small transport operator can be selected for a defined service lot. Suppliers should be equipped to deliver dependable, appropriately managed passenger journeys for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The work is a relatively focused transport service rather than a large fleet or broad transport contract. Experience arranging and operating comparable passenger journeys would be relevant to competing when this specific council requirement returns to market.
