Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed a procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND," aimed at providing transport services for students requiring special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) support. The procurement, under a legal framework defined by the UKPGA 2023/54, involved a limited competition method below the threshold and focused on transport services within Leatherhead and Dorking. The contract started on 1st September 2026 and is set to end on 31st July 2029. The total contract value is £14,934,000 GBP. Surrey County Council, located in Kingston upon Thames, was particularly engaged through their representative, Keith Baxter-Russell.

This tender represents a considerable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the transport sector, especially those specialising in providing accessible transport services for SEND students. Companies with expertise in tailored transport solutions, capable of providing trained personnel in first aid and seizure management, would be well-positioned to benefit. The contract required a single supplier, Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd, showcasing that even SMEs with specialty services can successfully compete for significant contracts within the public sector, provided they fulfil the specific requirements of the tender. This highlights the potential for growth for businesses geared toward niche services in the public transport industry.
