UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for Bramley Oak Academy in Surrey. The requirement is weekday saloon-car transport for two children with special educational needs and disabilities: one travelling from Epsom Downs and one from Epsom. The journeys may require a booster seat or high-back booster seat. The service is associated with the route serving Bramley Oak Academy, postcode GU5 0BJ, and covers transport between the children’s homes and the school. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, general fleet hire or school facilities work. Businesses operating child transport services in Surrey, particularly those able to provide suitable saloon vehicles and manage regular weekday journeys for individual pupils, are the closest fit.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected XPERT CARS, an SME based in Epsom, for the transport service. The award was made on 6 August 2026 and the contract was signed that day. The contract value is £6,776,057 gross, including the stated total value for this requirement. The contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender was treated as a light-touch service procurement and comprised one completed requirement covering the Bramley Oak Academy route. The award is active and the contract is active. The selected supplier is responsible for delivering the contracted SEND transport service during the stated period.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for dedicated SEND passenger transport linking children’s homes with a named school, using regular weekday saloon-car journeys. Competitors preparing for a future requirement of this type would need dependable access to suitable saloon vehicles, drivers able to provide consistent individual or small-scale pupil transport, and practical coverage of Epsom, Epsom Downs and the Bramley area. The operating model must accommodate children who may need booster or high-back booster seats and maintain reliable school-day journeys. Local presence in or around Surrey is commercially relevant because the routes begin in the Epsom area and serve a Surrey school. The award also indicates that this buyer uses a below-threshold limited-competition route for this kind of service.
