UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for one pupil with special educational needs and disabilities. The service uses a saloon car to take the pupil from Maddox Lane, Bookham, Leatherhead, to a school at West Hill, Epsom. Journeys are required from Monday to Friday, excluding Thursday afternoon. This is a local passenger transport service rather than a general vehicle supply or infrastructure contract. The requirement is categorised as transport services, covering the complete journey between the stated pickup point and school destination. Suppliers would need to operate in or around Bookham, Leatherhead and Epsom and provide reliable, appropriately managed transport for a single pupil.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It was treated as a light-touch services procurement and comprised one requirement. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to XPERT CARS on 13 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £43,288.07 including tax. The awarded supplier is XPERT CARS, an Epsom-based business. The arrangement covers the full client transport service described, with the award recorded as active and the procurement recorded as complete.

This award demonstrates a defined demand from Surrey County Council for dependable SEND transport delivered by a local passenger transport operator. A credible future competitor would need suitable saloon-car provision, the capacity to deliver scheduled weekday school journeys, and dependable coverage between Leatherhead, Bookham and Epsom. The single-passenger requirement places emphasis on reliability, safeguarding, punctuality and consistent service rather than fleet scale. Operators with local route knowledge, robust arrangements for managing school-day transport, and experience supporting children or young people with additional needs would be well placed. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of council requirement can suit smaller transport businesses as well as larger operators.
