Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, a public authority under sub-central government, has completed a contract under the title "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" with a focus on Transport services, specifically excluding waste transport. This procurement relates to transporting students to The Rise School in Feltham from various locations starting on 7th September 2026, with the procurement stage having progressed to contract award and signing on 12th July 2026. The procurement method used was limited competition, specifically tailored for projects below a specified threshold and categorised under the special regime of a light touch approach. This contract does not require a passenger assistant and utilises a Medium MPV vehicle, with services available in the Kingston upon Thames area within the United Kingdom.

This procurement process presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in transport services, particularly those specialising in educational or SEND-related transport, to engage with a structured and long-term contract. Companies like XPERT CARS, a small or medium enterprise based in Epsom, exemplify the type of organisation well-suited to compete in such tenders, especially those comfortable delivering specialised, light touch services. The awarded contract with a total value of £5,593,500 further highlights the growth potential for businesses capable of providing reliable and secure transport services for educational institutions over an extended period.
