Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed a public procurement process titled "SEND" within the transport services industry, focusing specifically on non-waste transport services. This procurement took place in the UKG13 region and followed an open procedure method. The process recently moved from the tendering to the award stage, with the contract being signed on 11th August 2025. The main procurement category was services, and the legal framework was governed by the EU Directive 2014/24. Among the lots included in the tender, at least one has been cancelled, while another has been successfully awarded to VGT, a supplier based in Fleet, with the contract value amounting to £25,212.86. Notably, 22 bids were received for this procurement process.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the transport services sector, particularly those capable of providing quality service attributes and competitive pricing. SMEs like VGT, which offer specialised services and demonstrate a strong capability to meet the procurement criteria, are well-suited to compete in such open procurements. The process prioritised both quality and cost, with a price weighting of 95%. Companies seeking to expand their service offerings in the UKG13 region could find similar opportunities beneficial for business growth through participation in structured, regional-level procurements led by authorities like Surrey County Council.
