Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Surrey County Council, located in Kingston upon Thames, has reached the award stage with a contract titled "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND". This contract pertains to the provision of transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to Esher CofE High School and covers the use of a saloon car for a single student in the Surbiton and Esher area. The procurement method was limited, falling below threshold with limited competition, under the light-touch regime. This stage was completed on 14th July 2026, with the contract signed on 10th June 2026 and set to be active from 1st September 2026 until 31st July 2029. The total contract value is £4,560,000 GBP.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the transport services industry, particularly those specialising in specialised client transport. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) such as Sonic Carz, which has been appointed as the supplier, are well-suited to compete for similar contracts due to their flexibility and ability to offer tailored solutions. Businesses aiming to expand in the UK transport services sector, specifically in SEND transport, should consider such opportunities to enhance their presence and growth potential within this niche market.
