UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for a single child with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement was a saloon-car journey for one student living in Worcester Park and attending Green Wrythe Primary in Carshalton. The specified journey distance is 8.65 miles. A personal assistant is not required. This is a local school transport service rather than a general passenger transport requirement, with the work centred on transporting the student between the home and school locations. The relevant service category is transport services, excluding waste transport. Suppliers need to be able to provide reliable individual or low-capacity school transport in the Worcester Park and Carshalton area, using a suitable saloon vehicle.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used the light-touch regime and comprised one completed lot. XPERT CARS was awarded the contract by Surrey County Council, with the award active. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £20,883.86 including gross value, in GBP. The procurement title identifies an intended service period of 2026 to 2034, but the awarded contract period recorded here is the single academic-year term stated above. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the published outcome identifies the successful supplier and one award for the transport service.

This outcome indicates demand from Surrey County Council for tailored SEND school transport at individual-student scale, delivered through a local route rather than a large fleet operation. Businesses well placed for a comparable requirement would be established passenger transport providers able to supply a suitable saloon car, deliver dependable school journeys, and manage regular travel between Worcester Park and Carshalton. Local knowledge, punctuality, safeguarding-focused operating practices and the capacity to support a single student would be commercially relevant capabilities. The incumbent is an SME, showing that this type of council requirement can suit smaller transport businesses as well as larger operators. Experience of SEND transport and the ability to maintain consistent service quality would strengthen a future competing supplier’s credibility.
