Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" contract was conducted by Surrey County Council, a sub-central government authority based in Kingston upon Thames. This contract pertains to transport services under the CPV code for transport services excluding waste transport. The tender stage progressed to the award and contract stage, with STL selected as the service provider. The procurement method employed was 'limited' under a 'below threshold - limited competition' regime, specifically for specialised services. The contract was signed on 27th April 2026, with a value of £631,071 and covers the period from 29th April 2026 to 31st July 2026. The service provided involves transportation to Freemantles school, with bespoke timings implemented for the client. This procurement is concluded with a special focus on the 'light-touch' regime.

This procurement offers excellent opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services to engage with public authorities on specialised and tailored service contracts. Businesses suited for this type of tender are those equipped with the capacity to provide bespoke transport services, preferably with prior experience in working with educational institutions or SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). Although the contract was awarded through a limited competition process, understanding and engaging in similar public tenders can significantly enhance a business’s portfolio and provide insights into working within specialised service regimes. It is ideal for companies aiming to expand their operations within the local or regional government contracting framework.
