Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has concluded a procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND," with the award for this service now complete. The project involves providing transport services for three pupils at Blossom House School, using one saloon car, covering Shepperton and New Malden in the UK. The procurement was carried out under a limited method, below the threshold bracket, falling under the 'lightTouch' regime. The contract has been awarded to XPERT CARS, a supplier based in Epsom, with the service set to commence on 1st September 2026 and conclude on 31st July 2027. The awarded contract is valued at £2,585,507 GBP and was signed on 25th July 2026.

This contract presents a beneficial opportunity for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those with capabilities in handling specialised client groups such as SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) passengers. SMEs involved in the services industry, like XPERT CARS, are well-positioned to compete in such tenders, especially those offering bespoke transport solutions with attention to the needs of the clients. The strategic partnership and completion of contractual obligations could lead to enhanced credibility and larger-scale projects in the future, promoting substantial business growth within the sector.
