Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has executed a public procurement process titled "SEND," targeting the transport services industry, excluding waste transport. This contract, identified under ocid: ocds-h6vhtk-066444, falls within the services procurement category and employs an open procurement method, specifically an open procedure. This process is situated in the region denoted by UKG13, with Kingston upon Thames serving as a key location. The procurement reached the award stage on 6th March 2026, culminating in an active contract valued at £85,485, signed on the same date. The opportunity was covered under the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), a measure aimed to promote fair, open markets. Despite the cancellation of one lot, the award associated with lot "1" led to the active participation of the supplier A1 and Eden Cars.

This tender represents a significant prospect for businesses in the transport services sector to expand by facilitating efficient and reliable service delivery. The contract awarded provides notable growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport services in the UK, particularly in Surrey or surrounding regions. Companies with strong quality metrics and competitive pricing strategies are well-positioned to benefit from such procurement exercises, given that the weighted criteria heavily favoured price, accounting for 95% of the award criteria. SMEs like A1 and Eden Cars, based in Weybridge, exemplify successful suppliers in this context, demonstrating the advantageous position SMEs can achieve through active participation in public tenders. With an open procedure format fostering competitive submissions, well-prepared businesses have the chance to capture public sector contracts and bolster their market presence.
