Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" contract, focusing on the transportation of students to school locations in Redhill, UK. The contract caters to the transport of two students, requiring a taloon vehicle with four passenger seats. This procurement falls under the category of transport services, excluding waste transport. The procurement method was a limited competition, specifically a below-threshold procedure. Initiated as a tender, this process progressed to the award stage and is currently in the active contract phase. The contract period extends from 22 June 2026 to 31 July 2029, as signed on 8 June 2026, with a gross value of £4,458,929.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in student or special needs transport services, given its focus on SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) transport requirements. Large-scale transport service providers like HomeSafe Transport Ltd, the awarded supplier, are particularly well-suited to compete in such procurement processes. The structured legal framework and light-touch regime may encourage more businesses to explore government contracts and expand their services into public sector projects, leveraging their expertise in safely managing school transport logistics.
