UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, based in Kingston upon Thames, has awarded a contract for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" under a limited procurement process for below-threshold competition. The contract, valued at £7,596,571, covers transport services primarily categorised under the CPV code 60000000. This transport service, operational from 1st June 2026 to 31st July 2029, involves the transport of students to Chertsey High School, located in Addlestone, with pick-up points in Stanwell and Egham. The procurement stage is complete, having transitioned from tender initiation to contract award, with the final award being made to Abbex Cars, a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Brentford.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs specialising in transport services that align closely with public sector requirements. The contract is a light-touch regime initiative under the UK's public authority governance, offering stability and a clear framework for service delivery. Businesses adept at providing tailored transport solutions for educational needs or those with experience in servicing SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) contracts will find this a strategic fit. Such opportunities can enhance a business's portfolio in the public sector, particularly in regional school transportation services.
