UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport services for two pupils attending Greenholm School in Sutton under its special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport programme. The requirement is for a saloon vehicle, with no passenger assistant, to transport pupils living in the RH6 and KT20 postcode areas. The service is classified as general transport services. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, a local government authority serving Surrey. The operational requirement combines scheduled school transport with the practical needs of transporting two individual pupils between their homes and Greenholm School. It is therefore relevant to passenger transport operators able to provide reliable school journeys in and around Sutton, Surrey and the specified postcode areas.

The procurement has been completed following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to XPERT CARS, an SME, on 13 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and has an active status. Its value is £95,988. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available outcome identifies the selected supplier but does not set out the individual scoring criteria. The contract covers the single SEND transport requirement for Greenholm School, Sutton, involving two pupils and a saloon vehicle without a passenger assistant.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a small-scale, dedicated SEND school transport service from Surrey County Council. Suppliers well placed to compete for a similar requirement would be passenger transport operators able to provide a suitable saloon vehicle, dependable journeys for two pupils and consistent service between the RH6 and KT20 areas and Greenholm School in Sutton. Credible competitors would need to understand the practical requirements of transporting children with special educational needs and disabilities, organise regular school-day journeys and maintain reliable coverage across the relevant Surrey and Sutton routes. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused local or regional operator rather than only a large transport business.
