UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for children and young people requiring special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport. The requirement covered standard transport using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with capacity for 1 to 8 passenger seats. In practical terms, this is a passenger transport service for scheduled client journeys rather than a vehicle supply contract or construction project. The main category is transport services (CPV 60000000). Surrey County Council is the buying public authority. The procurement covered one service lot for taxi and MPV transport, under the council’s wider client transport arrangements.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to XPERT CARS, an active award. The award was made on 17 September 2026, the contract was signed on 17 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 18 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. The contract value is £13,212 gross in GBP. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies XPERT CARS as the selected supplier. The available procurement information does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings for the award.

For a competitor, this award is evidence that Surrey County Council buys SEND client transport from smaller operators as well as larger providers. A credible supplier for this requirement would need to operate taxis or MPVs carrying between 1 and 8 passengers and deliver standard passenger transport services reliably. The relevant capability is therefore local or regional passenger-transport operations, with vehicles and operating capacity suited to SEND journeys. XPERT CARS is recorded as an SME, showing that an established small operator can meet the buyer’s needs through a limited competition route. Businesses with suitable taxi or MPV capacity and experience delivering dependable client transport should monitor this buyer’s requirements when they return to market.
