UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, initiated by Surrey County Council, involves the provision of transport services under the title "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND". It is situated in Kingston upon Thames, UK, and falls under the industry category of transport services, specifically excluding waste transport. The contract, focusing on special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport, involves routes from Farnham and Ash Vale to Newton Wood Barn, GU34 3QN, aligned with school timings from 09:00 to 15:00, Monday to Thursday, and 09:00 to 12:00 on Fridays. The procurement, which has now reached the award stage, was conducted through a limited method due to it being below threshold, incorporating a light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 21st May 2026, and implementation began on 1st June 2026, set to run until 31st July 2028, with a total value of £7,062,500 GBP.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those with experience in managing school transport logistics that include specific needs such as booster seating arrangements. Large businesses, like iConnectCar, which was awarded the contract, are well-suited to compete, especially if they possess the infrastructure to manage consistent and reliable transport services in school settings. The opportunity also opens potential for growth in working with public authorities on long-term partnerships that ensure detailed and sensitive client-focused services. Companies with prior engagements in public sector contracts, particularly in transport, may find this type of tender advantageous for expanding their foothold in government and educational transport sectors.
