UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel to Bramley Oak Academy, GU5 0BJ. The requirement covers weekday transport using a small multi-purpose vehicle for one child travelling from Ottershaw, Chertsey, and one child travelling from Guildford. The Guildford journey may require a high-back booster or booster seat. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The work involves transporting children safely between their home areas and the academy, with the specified vehicle type and seating arrangements forming part of the service requirement. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a local public authority serving Surrey.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. XPERT CARS was selected for the single lot, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £3,212,786 gross, including the stated amount, in GBP. The planned route service is for Monday to Friday. The tender title describes the wider requirement as Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND, while this awarded requirement concerns Bramley Oak Academy. The contract start date is 4 September 2026.

This award demonstrates substantial demand from Surrey County Council for organised SEND passenger transport serving schools and children across Surrey. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would be able to provide small MPVs, operate weekday home-to-school routes from areas such as Ottershaw, Chertsey and Guildford, and transport children reliably to an identified academy. They would also need to accommodate specified child-seating arrangements, including high-back booster or booster seats where required. The selected supplier, XPERT CARS, is recorded as an SME, showing that this type of council transport service can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator. Credible competitors would therefore need appropriate vehicles, dependable route and passenger management, and practical experience of child or SEND transport.
