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 Oak Parks High School. The requirement covers transport for one student between West Ewell and the school in Carshalton, a journey recorded as 14.39 miles. A passenger assistant is not required, and the vehicle specified is a saloon car. This is a local school transport service rather than a general passenger transport operation, with delivery centred on the student’s journey to and from Oak Parks High School. The procurement falls within transport services, excluding waste transport. Suppliers operating in Surrey or nearby areas with suitable vehicles and experience delivering individual school journeys are the most directly relevant businesses for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used the light-touch regime and comprised one requirement. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to XPERT CARS, an SME, on 10 August 2026 for £21,954.21 gross. The contract is active and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The evaluation basis recorded for the award is the limited competition procedure. The contract covers the transport service for the Oak Parks High School journey described above. The award is linked to the single requirement, and the contracting process has reached its outcome with the selected supplier identified and the contract signed on 10 August 2026.

For a competitor, this award demonstrates a defined local market for individual SEND school transport commissioned by Surrey County Council. A credible supplier would need to provide a suitable saloon vehicle and reliably deliver a single-student journey between West Ewell and Carshalton, without relying on a passenger assistant for this requirement. The work suits a small transport operator able to manage scheduled school travel over a recorded 14.39-mile route, maintain dependable day-to-day service and meet the practical needs of SEND transport. Familiarity with Surrey locations, school-run logistics and the council’s below-threshold limited-competition route would help a supplier compete effectively when a similar requirement is next considered.
