UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured passenger transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel to Landon School. The requirement covers one route serving three passengers: one travelling from Englefield Green, one from Egham and one from Staines. A medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) is required for the route. The work is transport provision rather than vehicle supply, including the movement of school clients between their stated locations and Landon School. The relevant service category is transport services, excluding waste transport. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate, and delivery takes place across Englefield Green, Egham, Staines and the journey to Landon School.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used a limited procedure under the light-touch regime and was divided into one lot. XP Cars Limited T/AS Express Cars was awarded the contract on 7 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £59,415 gross. Surrey County Council awarded the full requirement to the selected supplier. The published process identifies the transport service and the requirement for a medium MPV, but does not set out further evaluation weightings or selection thresholds.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for recurring SEND school transport on a small, scheduled route serving three passengers and several locations in Surrey. A credible future competitor would need to provide a medium MPV suitable for the route, reliable passenger transport operations and the ability to coordinate journeys involving Englefield Green, Egham, Staines and Landon School. Experience of SEND or other client transport would help demonstrate understanding of passenger needs, safeguarding and dependable school travel, although the published award information identifies no specific accreditation or qualification requirement. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that this scale of council transport work can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator rather than only a large fleet provider.
