UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement serves Blossom House School and covers transport for four pupils, with no personal assistant included. The vehicle requirement is one medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). The stated journey is between Leatherhead and New Malden, so the work is relevant to operators able to provide pupil transport across these locations. The procurement is categorised as transport services, covering the movement of clients rather than vehicle supply or general passenger transport. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement falls within its local authority responsibilities for arranging transport for children and young people with SEND.

The procurement has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was completed and awarded to XPERT CARS, an SME. The award is active. The contract was signed on 26 July 2026 and has a stated contract period from 27 July 2026 to 27 July 2026. Its value is £10,450 gross, including the published amount, in GBP. The procurement title describes the wider service as running from 2026 to 2034, while the structured contract period records the single date above. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the published process records no separate award criteria or weighting. This is an awarded outcome, not an invitation to submit bids.

This procurement shows Surrey County Council’s demand for small-scale, dedicated SEND transport linked to an individual school route. A credible future competitor would need to operate a medium MPV, carry four pupils, and provide reliable service between Leatherhead and New Malden. The requirement may suit an SME or local passenger-transport operator with the vehicle, driver availability and operational capacity to manage a defined school journey rather than a large fleet contract. Experience in client or school transport would help demonstrate understanding of transporting children with additional needs, although the published requirement identifies the vehicle, passenger number and route rather than broader technical or accreditation requirements. Businesses tracking Surrey’s education transport work can use this award as evidence of the council’s purchasing pattern and preferred limited-competition route.
