Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has concluded the procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" to facilitate transport services over a period of eight years. The tender, focusing on special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport services, covers the route from Caterham to Christ Church CE Primary Purley in Purley for five days a week. This contract was awarded through a limited procurement method, aimed at sub-threshold limited competition, and falls under the 'services' category. The procurement reached its award stage on 13th July 2026. With a contract value of £2,478,043, it was signed on 22nd June 2026 and became active from 23rd June 2026, concluding on 30th July 2027.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those adept at providing bespoke transport solutions for educational institutions. As the contract involved a limited competition process, smaller and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like XPERT CARS, the awarded supplier based in Epsom, stand to benefit significantly. Companies with expertise in customer-oriented transport services and those looking to expand into service provision for local government entities would find such contracts advantageous for building their portfolio and establishing long-term partnerships with public authorities like Surrey County Council.
