Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, conducted by Surrey County Council, revolves around the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" contract. It involves the transportation of a pupil in a saloon vehicle to BRIT School (CR0), starting on 22nd June 2026, from the SM7 postcode area. The procurement falls under the industry category of transport services (excluding waste transport) and has reached the award stage, completed on 13th July 2026. The procurement method used was limited competition, aimed at below threshold contracts, and is governed by the special light-touch regime. The contract duration is scheduled from 22nd June 2026 to 21st June 2027, with a total value of £279,664.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport and logistics, particularly those capable of meeting specific SEND requirements in vehicle provision. Companies like XPERT CARS, which has already been awarded this contract, exemplify the SMEs that can successfully compete in similar limited competition procurements. Such contracts not only offer financial growth through service delivery but also build a reputation in the specialised segment of pupil transport services, fostering establishment in a niche market.
