Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" contract, which falls under the transport services industry category, specifically targeting transportation for students with special needs. The services, starting on 16th June 2026, will run until the end of the academic year, twice a week. The procurement process followed a limited competition method and was below the threshold amount, aligning with a light-touch regime. The project location is in Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £154,286, was signed on 12th June 2026 and involves providing transportation services for a student from Cranleigh on Tuesdays and Thursdays only.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for companies capable of offering specialised transport solutions, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Charleys Taxis Limited, who was awarded the contract. Businesses with expertise in providing reliable and flexible transport services that meet special needs requirements stand to benefit from engaging in similar procurements. Collaborating with sub-central government bodies like Surrey County Council can not only generate steady revenue for such businesses but also enhance their portfolio, enabling them to compete for future public sector projects.
