UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covered a saloon car transporting three pupils to and from More House School, with no passenger assistant required. The work falls within general transport services. Delivery is associated with the school transport journey arranged by Surrey County Council, serving pupils connected with More House School. This is a focused passenger transport requirement rather than a broad fleet, public transport or vehicle supply contract. It would suit an operator able to provide a suitable saloon vehicle and reliable, safeguarded transport for a small number of school-aged passengers.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. XPERT CARS was selected as the supplier on 10 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and has an awarded value of £30,041.36 gross. It runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement comprised one completed requirement for the More House School journey. The award covers transport services for the specified three-pupil saloon-car route, with no passenger assistant requirement. The opportunity was handled under the light-touch regime for services.

This award shows demand from Surrey County Council for tightly specified SEND school transport delivered by a small operator. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need dependable passenger transport operations, access to a suitable saloon car and the capacity to provide consistent journeys for a small group of pupils across the school term. Experience of school transport, SEND passenger needs, safeguarding and working reliably to fixed education schedules would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement also demonstrates that the council uses a limited competition route for focused, below-threshold transport services, which may suit established local or regional operators able to respond efficiently to individual routes.
