UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for three students attending West Hill Primary School. The requirement covers one small multi-purpose vehicle with five passenger seats, with no passenger assistant. The school is in Leatherhead, while the students are located in Shepperton and Weybridge, so the service involves transporting these students between their homes and school. This is a passenger transport service for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) journeys, rather than a general fleet or school transport framework. The procurement was for Surrey County Council’s local authority services and relates to a specific route and passenger requirement involving a small vehicle.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to XPERT CARS on 6 August 2026, with an active contract running from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its awarded value is £103,490.64 including tax. The procurement used the light-touch regime and covered one requirement for the specified transport service. The available outcome records one active award and contract for XPERT CARS. The published process does not state an award scoring basis, so the recorded outcome is the supplier selection rather than a comparison of price and quality criteria.

This requirement indicates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated, small-scale passenger transport supporting SEND pupils, with a defined school-to-student journey between Leatherhead, Shepperton and Weybridge. Suppliers well placed for similar work would have access to a suitable five-seat MPV, dependable availability across the school timetable and the operational discipline to carry the same pupils consistently over a multi-year service period. Relevant capability includes planning repeated journeys, managing collection and drop-off arrangements across different towns, and providing a reliable service for children with special educational needs or disabilities. The award to an SME shows that a smaller local passenger transport business can deliver this type of council requirement.
