UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, a sub-central government public authority in Reigate, recently completed a procurement process titled "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND". The initiative, pertaining to the transport services industry, involved providing specialised school transport for two students to the Cullum Centre at Hinchley Wood. Covering locations in Weybridge and Cobham with the school in Esher, the contract runs from 1st September 2026 to 31st July 2029. The procurement employed a limited method, indicating a below-threshold, light-touch competition. This stage of the process culminated with the contract being awarded to XPERT CARS on 31st July 2026, backed by legal provisions in UK legislation 2023/54.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those adept at managing educational transport requirements. Companies that can efficiently cater to the bespoke needs of the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) sector, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like XPERT CARS, are ideally positioned to benefit from such contracts. The focus on a limited competition procurement method suggests that other similar-sized businesses could potentially secure future contracts by demonstrating tailored services and commitment to quality in educational transport solutions.
