UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for three passengers attending Landon School under its special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport arrangements. The route serves two passengers from Staines and one from Stanwell. The requirement is for a large multi-purpose vehicle, with a passenger assistant required to support the route. The service falls within transport services rather than goods, construction or general professional services. Delivery is centred on the journeys between Staines, Stanwell and Landon School, with Surrey County Council as the public-sector buyer. The requirement is specific to a small passenger group and a defined school route, making it most relevant to operators able to provide suitably sized vehicles and assisted passenger transport for SEND journeys.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. XP Cars Limited trading as Express Cars was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026, starts on 14 September 2026 and runs until 31 July 2028. Its value is £92,120 including applicable taxes. The procurement used one completed lot and the award covers the transport service for the Landon School route. Surrey County Council used the light-touch regime and a limited procurement method. The published outcome records an active award and an active contract, so this is an awarded requirement rather than an opportunity for new bids. The contract title refers to Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND, while the stated contract period ends in July 2028.

This award indicates recurring demand from Surrey County Council for tightly specified SEND school transport, including small passenger groups, fixed collection areas and additional support during journeys. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to operate a large MPV, provide a passenger assistant and deliver consistent, safe and dependable transport for children travelling to school. The relevant operating capability is not simply vehicle supply: it includes planning a defined route between Staines, Stanwell and Landon School, coordinating passenger support and maintaining service continuity for three passengers. Small and medium-sized local transport operators may be well placed where they can combine suitable vehicle capacity with trained staff and reliable day-to-day route management. Experience delivering assisted school or SEND transport would strengthen a future response, although the award data identifies no specific accreditation requirement.
