Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has awarded a contract for the provision of Client Transport Services specifically for Child Mainstream services, covering the period from 2026 to 2034. The procurement process, which falls under the "services" category, operates under a limited competition method below the threshold, signalling a light-touch regime focused on efficiency. This specific contract, covering transport for two pupils at Oxted School with destinations including West Ewell, Redhill, and Oxted, utilises a single saloon car. The contract, signed on 16th July 2026, is valued at £8,816,000 and will commence on 1st September 2026. The Surrey County Council, located in Kingston upon Thames, has actively engaged Herts and London Minicabs Limited as the supplier, indicating the completion stage of this tender.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in transportation services, specifically those experienced in educational transport. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capacity to offer reliable and safe transport solutions for educational institutions could benefit from engaging in such public sector contracts. Enterprises well-versed in navigating light-touch procurement processes can leverage this opportunity to expand their reach into the public sector, particularly in the regions surrounding Surrey, including London and the broader UKI63 area. The partnership with a public authority such as Surrey County Council could enhance business credibility and lead to further opportunities within the sub-central government sector.
