Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council initiated a procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" aimed at providing transport services for students attending Abingdon House School, specifically from Redhill, Tadworth, and Coulsdon areas, covering a total of four pupils. The procurement falls under the services category, with a focus on transport services excluding waste transport. This limited competition process, classified as "Below threshold - limited competition", is governed by the legal framework specified under UKPGA 2023/54. The contract, valued at over £6 million, commenced on 1st September 2026 and is expected to conclude by 31st July 2028. The procurement stage is currently in the award phase, and the contract was signed on 29th May 2026, with Asiana Cars Ltd, an SME based in Redhill, being awarded the contract.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities for enterprises within the transport sector, particularly those experienced in handling tailored transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). SMEs like Asiana Cars Ltd, with expertise in medium-sized motor vehicles and understanding of the specific logistical needs in educational transport, are particularly well-suited for participation in similar tenders. Engaging in such procurement processes can enhance business portfolios, foster relationships with local government bodies like Surrey County Council, and establish a reputation in specialised transport services.
