Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed the procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND". This project falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on transport services. The contract was awarded to Asiana Cars Ltd, a supplier based in Redhill, United Kingdom. The location for service delivery is primarily at the Minerva May School in Reigate, with the requirement for a saloon car to transport one passenger. The award process followed a limited procurement method, specifically designed for below-threshold, limited competition, and adhered to the light-touch regime. Key dates include the contract's timeframe from 4th May 2026 to 31st July 2029, with the contract being signed on 29th April 2026, and the award announcement on 13th July 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in providing specialised transport services, catering primarily to organisations or individuals with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), similar to Asiana Cars Ltd, with expertise in bespoke vehicle provisions and logistical operations within the public sector, could find contract opportunities like this beneficial for growth. Given the focus on transport services, businesses with established logistics infrastructure, reliability, and a commitment to fulfilling niche public requirements are particularly well-suited to compete in such procurement processes.
