UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured weekday client transport for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision at Oaklands School, TW3 4BU. The service covers one pupil travelling from Ashford to the school, using a saloon car, with journeys required from Monday to Friday. This is a passenger transport service rather than a general vehicle supply or school transport fleet contract. The requirement is focused on a defined home-to-school journey for one pupil and is managed by Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The relevant service classification is transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). Businesses operating passenger cars, taxis or private-hire vehicles, particularly those able to provide consistent weekday school journeys between Ashford and the Oaklands School area, would be the closest commercial match.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The tender used the light-touch regime and comprised one completed lot. XPERT CARS was awarded the contract on 4 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross and stated value is £70,583.71. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies XPERT CARS as the selected supplier. The transport service is therefore a concluded procurement rather than an opportunity for new bids. The recorded contract start date is Monday 7 September 2026, matching the stated requirement for the route to start on that date.

For a supplier assessing future comparable work, this procurement demonstrates a recurring, carefully defined requirement for SEND school transport rather than a large network operation. A credible competitor would need access to a suitable saloon car and the operational capacity to provide a reliable Monday-to-Friday journey for one pupil between Ashford and Oaklands School in the TW3 4BU area. The awarded supplier was an SME, showing that this scale of requirement can suit a small transport business rather than only a major fleet operator. Relevant preparation would include demonstrating dependable vehicle availability, the ability to maintain a regular school route and sufficient resilience to deliver the same passenger journey consistently throughout the contract period. The buyer and service need provide a focused reference point for operators targeting Surrey education transport.
