UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of Client Transport Services catering to Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) for the period 2026 to 2034. The procurement was conducted under a limited procurement method, specifically below threshold with limited competition. The contract, which falls under the category of transport services, is based in the United Kingdom, servicing locations from Oxted to Sutton. The award phase of the process was completed with a contract signing on 6th May 2026, and the official start date for the services is set for 11th May 2026, running until 31st July 2027. This initiative underscores Surrey County Council's commitment to ensuring reliable and safe transport solutions for students, involving an array of logistical elements like passenger assistants and tailored vehicle accommodations.

This procurement presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs within the transport service industry, given its focus on a light-touch regime and below-threshold competition approaches. Businesses that specialise in providing specialised transport services, especially those adept in catering to SEND requirements, would find themselves well-suited to benefit from such contractual opportunities. The active status of the contract awarded to Admiral Minicabs indicates potential for similar service providers to engage in future tenders where reliability and specialised care are integral to service delivery.
