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 covers transport for two students attending Hopescourt School, with no personal assistant required. The students are located in Chertsey and the school is in Walton-on-Thames, so the service involves transport between those locations. The vehicle requirement is one saloon car with four passenger seats. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority, and the service is focused on a specific school journey and small passenger group within Surrey.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to XPERT CARS, an Epsom-based supplier. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 17 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £74,182.21 gross, excluding any separate figures not stated in the procurement. The process comprised one completed requirement for the Hopescourt School service. The award is active and the contract is active; the published outcome identifies XPERT CARS as the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for small-scale, dedicated SEND transport between Chertsey and Walton-on-Thames. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide reliable passenger transport for school-age children, operate a suitable four-passenger-seat saloon, and consistently cover the specified route. The requirement is suited to a small or specialist local operator: the successful supplier, XPERT CARS, is recorded as an SME and is based in Epsom. Relevant operational strengths would include dependable scheduling around the school day, safe and appropriate handling of SEND passengers, and the capacity to maintain continuity for a two-student service without a personal assistant.
