Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has awarded a contract for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND," focusing on providing transport services for specific needs. The services include transporting one pupil via saloon car, with a passenger assistant possessing First Aid and Seizure Management skills. This contract, classified under the transport services industry, runs from April 20, 2026, to July 31, 2026, covering areas in and around Kingston upon Thames and Woking, UK. The procurement process followed a "limited" method due to being below the competition threshold, embodying a "light touch" regime, and was completed with the active contract signed on April 17, 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in tailored transport services, particularly those experienced in supporting individuals with special needs. Companies well-suited for this contract could include those with a workforce trained in specialised care and transport safety. The contract's focus on recurring transport services over multiple years until 2034 implies potential for stable business growth for providers like STL, the awarded supplier, which is a large-scale supplier in this category. Businesses in the transport and care industries may find similar or future opportunities to engage with Surrey County Council for specialised service delivery.
