UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured a specialised passenger transport service for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel. The requirement covered transport for one pupil from Caterham to Lambeth College in London, at 45 Clapham Common South Side, SW4 9BL. The journey was specified as requiring one saloon car and no passenger assistant. The procurement falls within transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). This is a single-passenger, individual-route requirement rather than a general school transport operation or a large fleet service. It would suit operators able to provide reliable point-to-point travel for a SEND passenger between Surrey and London, with the vehicle and route configuration described.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. XPERT CARS was awarded the contract on 3 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The awarded contract value is £20,440.20 gross, in GBP. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and confirms that this was a light-touch services procurement managed by Surrey County Council. The available outcome does not set out award criteria or a scoring basis, so commercial relevance rests primarily on the defined SEND passenger transport requirement, vehicle type and route.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Surrey County Council for individual SEND passenger transport between Caterham and a London college, using a saloon car without a passenger assistant. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate dependable private-hire or passenger transport services, provide a suitable saloon vehicle and cover cross-border journeys between Surrey and London. The work is suited to a small or medium-sized operator able to allocate a vehicle and driver consistently to one passenger and one regular education route. Experience in scheduled education transport and the operational discipline to deliver reliable journeys would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next reviews the requirement.
