Summary of the contracting process

This contracting process was initiated by Surrey County Council for the procurement of transport services under the title "SEND." The procurement falls under the services category, specifically excluding waste transport, and is located in the UKG13 region. The process was conducted using an open procedure and the legal basis for the contract is CELEX 32014L0024. Though initially requiring bids for related lot 1, this lot status was eventually cancelled. Nonetheless, an award was made to Tunsgate Cars Ltd on 2nd January 2026, with the contract actively in place, valued at £17,657.14. Surrey County Council, as the contracting authority, functions as a regional or local authority with a contact point available at County Hall, Kingston upon Thames.

This transport services contract presents opportunities primarily for SMEs in the transport industry, particularly those located in or capable of serving the UKG13 region. Though the lot intended for several bids was cancelled, the open procedure style of procurement often encourages competitive participation from various businesses, thus fostering growth. The emphasis on quality criteria such as capability and qualifications, alongside price considerations, suggests that businesses with specialised expertise in transport services could successfully compete for such contracts. Tunsgate Cars Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise, has been an active supplier for this contract, demonstrating the potential benefits for similarly structured businesses. Opportunities may arise in future tenders as Surrey County Council continues its service operations in transport, providing potential growth avenues for interested businesses.
