UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for five pupils with special educational needs and disabilities travelling to The Park School, GU22 7AT. The requirement is for a multi-purpose vehicle with eight seats, Monday to Friday, with sufficient boot space for a collapsible wheelchair. The route serves one pupil from Stanwell, one from Staines-upon-Thames, one from Staines, one from Chertsey and two from Addlestone. This is a passenger transport service focused on reliable school journeys and accessible vehicle capacity. Delivery is centred on the school and the stated collection locations in Surrey and nearby areas.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to XPERT CARS. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 19 August 2026. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £124,108 gross. The contract is active. The service is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport. One lot covered the complete requirement. The published procurement information identifies the vehicle configuration, weekday operating pattern, pupil locations and wheelchair-space requirement as the basis of the service requirement; it does not state a separate price or quality weighting.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport delivered with a suitable passenger vehicle. Suppliers best placed for a comparable requirement would be able to provide an eight-seat MPV, maintain usable boot capacity for a collapsible wheelchair and operate dependable Monday-to-Friday school journeys. Credible operators would also need practical experience coordinating regular routes involving multiple pupils and collection points around Stanwell, Staines-upon-Thames, Staines, Chertsey and Addlestone, with service centred on The Park School. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused local or regional transport business rather than only a large national operator. Experience in passenger transport and accessible SEND journeys would strengthen a future response.
