Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed the procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND", tailored for client transport services in the special educational needs and disabilities sector. The contract, awarded on 1st May 2026 and running until 31st July 2028, entails transport services for three students attending Fox Grove School in Leatherhead. The project utilises a limited competition procurement method due to its below-threshold status, with the main procurement category being services. The procurement location is within Surrey, covering areas such as Dorking and Beare Green, and aligns with the UK's light-touch regime for certain types of services.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those with expertise in handling special educational needs transport requirements. Companies capable of offering tailored, reliable transportation solutions in compliance with the client's stipulations will find this contract lucrative. Large scale providers, like the awarded supplier STL, who can deliver consistent quality service, are well-positioned for similar opportunities in public sector transport projects. Businesses with the capacity to fulfil such requirements can use this as a springboard to expand their portfolio within the public transportation sector.
