Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Surrey County Council was for the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND", specifically servicing the early routes from Dovers Green School in Reigate. The contract requires providers to transport a child from Leatherhead using a Saloon vehicle, with the route scheduled to commence on 27th April 2026 and run until the end of July 2026. This tender falls under the Transport services category, specifically for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The procurement was carried out using a limited competition method, classified under a 'light touch' special regime, and has been awarded to Parkers of Reigate Ltd, a small and medium enterprise (SME). The contract was signed on 24th April 2026, with active delivery from April to July 2026 and a gross contract value of £814,286.

This tender presents significant opportunities for transport service providers, particularly small to medium enterprises specialising in SEND transport. The limited competition procurement method suggests an environment where smaller companies can thrive without the intense pressures of larger competitors dominating the bid process. Businesses capable of providing flexible transport solutions, especially those experienced in special educational needs, are ideally suited to compete for contracts of this nature. With the potential for extension or similar future contracts from Surrey County Council, establishing a track record with this transport service can lead to further opportunities for growth and partnership within the public sector.
