UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement was a saloon-car route serving Wishmore, GU24 8NS, with journeys from Addlestone and Walton-on-Thames. The service transports three pupils: two from Addlestone and one from Walton-on-Thames, with different attendance patterns. The route includes five-day-a-week provision, alongside reduced-day journeys, and covers travel between the pupils’ homes and the destination. The main service category is passenger transport services (CPV 60000000). Delivery is centred on Wishmore and the named Surrey locations, including Addlestone and Walton-on-Thames. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer and commissioning organisation for this individual client transport requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was run under the light-touch regime. XPERT CARS was awarded the single lot, and the award was active on 3 August 2026. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £5,732,057 gross. Bidders were required to price the route by mileage per day, based on 11.33 miles on Monday, 25.26 miles on Tuesday and Thursday, and 13.3 miles on Wednesday and Friday. The evaluation therefore depended on providing a suitable saloon transport service and pricing the specified daily mileage. The tender status is complete and the contract status is active.

This award indicates demand from Surrey County Council for reliable, scheduled home-to-school transport for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have access to suitable saloon vehicles, dependable drivers and the operational control needed to deliver recurring journeys for a small number of pupils with different weekly attendance patterns. Capability to plan routes accurately, manage weekday variations and price mileage transparently would be important. Experience transporting children safely, maintaining punctual collections and arrivals, and handling the practical requirements of individual passenger transport would strengthen a competitor’s position. Local knowledge of Surrey, including Wishmore, Addlestone and Walton-on-Thames, would also support credible delivery when this requirement returns to market.
