UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision under the title Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND. The requirement covers transport for two pupils connected with Blossom House, with no passenger assistant required. The specified vehicle is a saloon car. The service operates between Weybridge and New Malden, supporting the council’s arrangements for transporting these pupils. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general facilities contract. Businesses should therefore have experience delivering dependable, appropriately managed transport for children or young people with SEND and be able to provide a suitable saloon car for the stated journey between the two Surrey-area locations.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One service lot was awarded to XPERT CARS, an SME. The award was made on 3 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is valued at £2,697,300 (GBP). The award covers the full passenger transport requirement for two pupils travelling between Weybridge and New Malden. The procurement used a limited procedure under the light-touch regime. The published outcome records the tender as complete and the award and contract as active. No separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis is recorded in the procurement outcome.

This opportunity provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting Surrey County Council’s SEND transport requirements. A credible competitor would need to deliver specialist pupil transport reliably, provide a saloon car, cover journeys between Weybridge and New Malden, and accommodate two pupils without a passenger assistant. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused transport business rather than only a large national operator. Relevant capability includes managing scheduled education-related journeys, maintaining dependable vehicle availability, and coordinating service delivery with the council and the education setting. Firms with an established local operating base, suitable vehicles and experience transporting children or young people with additional needs would be well placed when assessing similar requirements from this buyer.
