Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed a tender process titled "SEND," classified as transport services within the services industry category. This process was conducted using an open procurement method under the legal basis of CELEX 32014L0024, with the main location being the UKG13 region in the United Kingdom. The award stage concluded with the contract being signed on 27th February 2026, valued at £77,400. The tender process involved the submission of five bids and was governed by criteria focusing heavily on price, contributing 95% to the evaluation, alongside various quality metrics. The involved lot status was eventually cancelled, although an award related to it is currently active.

Business growth opportunities arise from such contracts, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport services, akin to the awarded supplier, Tunsgate Cars Ltd. Firms with robust pricing strategies and quality credentials can benefit from participating in similar tenders, which focus significantly on delivering high-quality service at competitive prices. Regional or local authorities, like Surrey County Council, offer rich partnership possibilities for businesses capable of fulfilling service demands efficiently, especially within the framework of public transport and logistical services. Such contracts can serve as a foothold for growing influence and expanding operations within the regional frameworks.
