UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils attending Fox Grove School. The requirement covers transport for two pupils, with one personal assistant travelling for the journey. The service uses a medium multi-purpose vehicle with six to seven passenger seats. The pupils live in the KT19 postcode area, so the transport operation is centred on journeys involving that area and Fox Grove School. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract: the supplier is expected to provide the vehicle and transport operation needed to support the pupils and accompanying personal assistant. The procurement is for Surrey County Council’s education-related transport requirements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to XPERT CARS. The award is active and the contract was signed on 11 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £139,308 gross. The selected supplier is XPERT CARS, an SME based in Epsom. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process; the published data does not state separate price or quality weightings. The procurement title refers to services planned across 2026 to 2034, while the awarded contract period recorded for this requirement ends on 31 July 2029.

This award shows demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport combining a suitable passenger vehicle with safe, reliable support for a small number of pupils and an accompanying personal assistant. A credible competing supplier would need to operate medium MPVs with six to seven passenger seats and have the practical capacity to provide regular journeys for two pupils. Local knowledge of the KT19 area and journeys to Fox Grove School would be directly relevant. Experience in passenger transport for children or pupils with additional needs would help demonstrate suitability, alongside the ability to coordinate an accompanying personal assistant. Smaller transport operators may be well placed, as the awarded supplier is an SME.
