UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) client transport services for Hopescourt School, Walton-on-Thames. The requirement covers transport for five students travelling from Woking to the school, with no personal assistant required. Delivery involves providing one medium-sized passenger vehicle with seven passenger seats for the school journey. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement. The work is centred on the route between Woking and Walton-on-Thames, with the school located on Waterside Drive, Walton-on-Thames. The procurement was bought by Surrey County Council, a local public authority, for a defined school transport requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to XPERT CARS, a small or medium-sized enterprise, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026, with a contract period from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £11,108,350 gross. The procurement uses the light-touch regime and is classified as transport services. The recorded requirement is for one lot covering the SEND transport service. The contracting process is therefore at the award and active-contract stage: the selected supplier has been named and the agreement has been signed for delivery over the stated school transport period.

This award demonstrates a substantial, multi-year requirement for dedicated SEND passenger transport between Woking and Walton-on-Thames. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need to provide a suitable medium-sized vehicle with seven passenger seats and operate reliably on a scheduled school route for five students. The stated absence of a personal assistant means the transport provision is vehicle-and-driver focused for this requirement, rather than requiring an onboard passenger assistant. Relevant competitors would benefit from experience delivering contracted school or specialist passenger transport, dependable operational planning, and the capacity to maintain service continuity across a long contract period. The buyer and route provide a clear reference point for businesses monitoring future Surrey County Council transport requirements of a similar scale and type.
