## Summary

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for The Abbey School in Leatherhead. The requirement covers transporting two passengers from Leatherhead, using a small MPV. This is a passenger transport service supporting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The work is associated with the school and passenger journey described in the requirement, with Surrey County Council as the public-sector buyer. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are operators providing small-vehicle passenger transport, particularly those able to organise reliable journeys for a very small number of passengers under a school-related SEND requirement. The service category is transport services, excluding waste transport. The named supplier is based in Epsom, while the passenger journey is from Leatherhead to The Abbey School.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used a limited procurement method under the light-touch regime. The single lot was awarded to XPERT CARS, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £71,547.64 gross. The award covers the transport service for the two passengers and small MPV route described above. The award is active and the contract is active. Surrey County Council selected the supplier through the limited competition; the available procurement record does not set out separate award criteria or a scoring basis. This is an awarded contract rather than an invitation to submit a bid.

For a competing supplier, this procurement shows a defined local market for small-scale SEND passenger transport commissioned by Surrey County Council. A credible operator would need a small MPV suitable for the stated passenger requirement, the operational capacity to provide consistent school-related journeys, and the ability to manage routes involving Leatherhead and The Abbey School. The requirement is suited to an SME-sized transport business rather than a provider needing a large vehicle fleet or a high-volume passenger operation. Relevant strengths would include dependable vehicle availability, effective route planning, punctual service delivery and experience working within the practical requirements of SEND transport. Operators considering similar council work should be able to demonstrate that they can provide a reliable, proportionate service for a small number of passengers.
