Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, acting as the buying organisation, has completed the procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND," with the award date being the 13th of July, 2026. This tender focuses on transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), specifically requiring a route from Camberley to Wishmore in GU24 8NS. The contracts for this service, valued at £2,848,714, are set to commence on the 10th of June, 2026, and conclude by the 31st of July, 2028. The procurement process was initiated through a limited procurement method, under the 'light touch' regime, and classified under the transport services industry category. This contract was awarded to Charleys Taxis Limited, based in Birmingham.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for service providers specializing in transportation services within the public sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Charleys Taxis Limited, which have expertise in providing flexible and reliable transport services, are ideally suited for such contracts. The below-threshold nature of the procurement implies less stringent eligibility requirements, increasing accessibility for smaller businesses to compete and potentially expand their client base through similar public sector opportunities.
