Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed the procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - Child Mainstream". The process, identified under the procurement method "limited" and categorised as "services", falls under the industry category of transport services, specifically excluding waste transport. This award was completed with Abbex cars, a supplier located in Brentford. Surrey County Council serves as the buying organisation, located in Kingston upon Thames. The contract period began on 28 April 2026 and will last until 31 July 2026. Despite being labelled as "limited competition" and "below threshold", the procurement process adhered to legal standards as outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54 legislation.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses within the transportation services industry, particularly those focusing on client transport services for children. Given the specified need for saloon cars and the contact with The Academy of Hair Woking in Ashford, companies offering specialised or tailored transport solutions are well-positioned for future opportunities. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) focusing on light-touch services stand to benefit significantly from similar contracts awarded by regional councils, leveraging local knowledge and niche service offerings to support public sector needs.
