UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for two pupils with special educational needs (SEND), travelling to Hillingdon Manor School in Harlington Road, Uxbridge. The service involves collecting pupils from addresses in Chertsey and Staines and transporting them to the school in a saloon vehicle. No specialist equipment is required. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000, covering the daily journey between Surrey collection points and the school in Uxbridge. The requirement is focused on the safe, reliable and suitably managed transport of two school pupils rather than vehicle supply, construction or general fleet services. It may suit local taxi, private hire or specialist education transport operators with suitable saloon vehicles and experience transporting children or vulnerable passengers.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It was treated as a light-touch service procurement. XPERT CARS was awarded the contract for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 17 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £63,059.79 including gross value, with the procurement below the applicable threshold. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the published data identifies the transport service scope and route, but does not set out a separate quality, price or scoring breakdown. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation.

This procurement demonstrates a defined demand for contracted school transport between Surrey and a school in Uxbridge, involving a small number of pupils and a saloon vehicle rather than specialist equipment. A credible future competitor would need dependable passenger transport operations, an appropriate saloon car, reliable coverage of Chertsey and Staines, and the capacity to deliver regular journeys to Hillingdon Manor School. Experience with SEND transport, children or vulnerable passengers would help demonstrate suitability, alongside safe working practices, punctuality and the ability to manage consistent collection and drop-off arrangements. Local private hire, taxi and education transport businesses may be well placed, particularly smaller operators able to provide continuity, responsive communication and an appropriately safeguarded service for pupils.
