Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, a sub-central government public authority in the UK, is facilitating a procurement process titled "SCC - KS - RFQ - Blue Badge Walking Assessments". The procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is conducted through an open competition method, suitable for below-threshold contracts. The tender process involved seeking quotations from competent suppliers to deliver Blue Badge Expert Assessments across various locations in Surrey, including clinics and home assessments. The tender process concluded with the award stage, and the project is now in the contract phase, effective from 15 July 2026, to 14 July 2028, with potential for a one-year extension if required. Access Independent Ltd, an SME based in Cambridge, has been awarded the contract, valued at £25,415 GBP net (£30,498 GBP gross), to provide these services.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses keen on expanding their service offerings in the health services domain, particularly those specialising in assessments and social work services. The project will require ongoing delivery and management of clinic-based and home assessments, thus favouring SMEs with a focus on health services and related fields. Businesses adept in electronic submissions can benefit from the streamlined procurement process, which aligns with the emphasis on quality and competitive pricing. This contract could act as a substantial growth lever for companies aiming to secure a foothold in public health service delivery and develop a relationship with a reputable public sector body like Surrey County Council.
