Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" was conducted by Surrey County Council, a sub-central government authority in the United Kingdom. This contract, focused on providing transport services specifically for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), involves the route to Serenity School in Croydon, starting on 13th May 2026. The procurement, which followed a limited method below the threshold, was completed with the award of the contract on 11th May 2026. The contract was signed for a duration starting from 13th May 2026 until 31st July 2027, at a value of £2,378,571 GBP. The procurement stage has progressed to the 'award' and 'contract' stages in this process.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the transport services industry, particularly those specialising in SEND transport. Companies with expertise in accommodating special needs, such as providing appropriate seating, and operating saloon vehicles, would find this opportunity advantageous. The procurement method, focused on limited competition, suggests a niche scope that could favour small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with specialised service offerings. Smaller companies with a focus on tailored and high-quality transport services might find this an excellent opportunity to secure a contract with a public authority like Surrey County Council.
