Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, located in Kingston upon Thames, initiated a procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND," specifically for services involving Woodview School in Orpington. The procurement, classified under the public authority - sub-central government category, was conducted through a limited competition method due to its below-threshold value, highlighting a focused procurement strategy. The award for this contract was completed, having been signed on 22 April 2026, with an active contract period running from 11 May to 31 July 2026. The contract amount is valued at £954,643 GBP, and it involves transportation services with a preference for a female driver for a pupil, requiring a saloon car. The competition was awarded to ROAD LINK GATWICK LIMITED, a large supplier based in Crawley.
