UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision. The requirement covers transport for one pupil from Linden Bridge, with one passenger assistant and a small multi-purpose vehicle, serving the route between Tadworth and Worcester Park. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or general fleet contract. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, and the work is associated with its local authority transport responsibilities. Suppliers need to provide a suitable small vehicle, carry the pupil safely, and provide the required passenger-assistant support throughout the journey. The relevant service category is passenger transport services (CPV 60000000).

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 active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £41,625 gross. The award covers one lot and one transport requirement. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and confirms that the tender reached completion; the contract is active. The procurement concerns a single pupil, passenger assistant and small MPV service between Tadworth and Worcester Park.

This requirement indicates demand for carefully managed SEND transport on a small, dedicated route. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have access to a reliable small MPV, appropriately trained and dependable drivers, and the ability to provide a passenger assistant for a pupil journey. Experience transporting children or passengers with additional needs would strengthen credibility, particularly where safeguarding, punctuality, communication with families and schools, and consistent daily service are important. A local operator serving Surrey and nearby areas could be well positioned for the route between Tadworth and Worcester Park. The scale suits an SME transport provider able to coordinate vehicle availability, staffing and contingency cover for a single-passenger service.
