Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed a procurement process concerning the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND," a contract focusing on SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) transport services, specifically for Merstham Park school. The procurement was conducted using a limited method due to its classification as below the threshold for full competition, and it was carried out within the 'lightTouch' regime. The contract was awarded to HomeSafe Transport Ltd, a large supplier, and it involves providing a transport service for one student requiring a saloon car between Woking and Redhill. The procurement process has now reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 29th May 2026, and the service is set to commence from 1st June 2026, running until 31st July 2029.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the transport services industry, particularly those specialising in services for educational institutions or special needs transport. Companies with expertise in providing secure and reliable transport solutions that can efficiently navigate the geographic area between Woking and Redhill would find this contract valuable for business growth. The procurement method, although limited in competition, provides a foothold in public sector contracts, which can lead to further opportunities in similar domains. Large-scale transport companies or those aiming to expand into the public service sector would be best suited to compete in such procurement opportunities.
