UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has concluded the procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND," with the award going to County Cabs Limited. This contract addresses transport needs with a focus on special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and spans from 2026 to 2034. The tender was executed through a limited procurement method suitable for below-threshold competitions, with an application of a light-touch regime. The location involves routes to Abingdon House School from Egham/Chertsey, specifically for accommodating two pupils. The contract was signed on the 27th of May 2026, with services commencing on the 1st of September 2026 and continuing until the 31st of July 2028.

This contract presents a unique opportunity for businesses in the transport services industry, particularly those specialising in transport solutions for education sectors or catering to special needs. Companies with experience in delivering client-focused transport services, especially for public authorities like sub-central government entities, are well-positioned to benefit from similar tenders in the future. The involvement of County Cabs Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), underscores the potential for other SMEs to engage in public sector contracts, driving growth and expanding service offerings. Businesses interested in limited competition tenders should consider strengthening their relationships with local councils and staying informed about upcoming projects that meet niche transport needs.
