UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for four pupils with special educational needs and disabilities attending Brookways School in Sutton. The service covers journeys for students located in Sunbury-on-Thames and West Molesey, travelling to and from the school. The requirement is for one small multi-purpose vehicle with five passenger seats. No personal assistant is required as part of the stated arrangement. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract, with the operator responsible for providing transport for the identified students. The procurement is associated with Surrey County Council’s responsibilities as a local authority and focuses on a defined school transport route between locations in Surrey and neighbouring areas.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected XPERT CARS as the supplier. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and has an awarded value of £10,880,564. It runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender was treated as a light-touch services procurement and the transport service was evaluated through the limited competition route. The award covers one completed lot for the Brookways School requirement. The contract is recorded as active, while the tender itself is complete. The stated service period covers the school transport arrangement for the four pupils travelling between Sunbury-on-Thames, West Molesey and Sutton.

This procurement demonstrates substantial, sustained demand for specialist school transport from Surrey County Council, focused on reliable journeys for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a suitable five-seat MPV and organise consistent transport between Sunbury-on-Thames, West Molesey and Brookways School in Sutton. The requirement is suited to a small or medium-sized passenger transport operator able to manage regular school travel, maintain dependable vehicle availability and deliver a service for a small, defined passenger group. Experience of education transport, SEND passengers, safeguarding, accessibility and school-time scheduling would strengthen a supplier’s credibility, although the published requirement does not identify specific accreditations.
