Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has awarded a contract titled "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" as part of its public procurement process. This contract focuses on providing transport services primarily for SEND students, covering routes including Walton-on-Thames and Weybridge to The Rise School in Feltham. The procurement falls under the services category with a specific focus on transport. The tender was conducted using a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold status. The contract, valued at approximately £2,569,286, was signed on 10th July 2026, and the route services are set to commence on 7th September 2026 and end by 31st July 2027.

For businesses in the transport sector, particularly those capable of providing bespoke transport solutions for educational institutions or special educational needs, this contract represents significant business growth opportunities. Surrey County Council's focus on a light-touch regime indicates an approachable entry point for small to medium enterprises (SMEs). Swan School Services Ltd, a Walton-on-Thames-based supplier, secured the contract, highlighting the council’s preference for local business engagement. This procurement process demonstrates potential openings for SMEs seeking to establish or expand their services within the UK public sector, specifically in the niche area of educational transport services.
