Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has recently concluded the procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND", specifically for the Edward Pauling Primary School. This tender falls under the industry category of transport services and was aimed at providing a saloon car for a single pupil's morning journey. Situated in Kingston upon Thames, this procurement was part of a light-touch regime featuring limited competition, aimed at fulfilling the council’s statutory service obligations. The contract has been awarded to Eagle Cab Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), on 16th July 2026, with the service set to commence on 1st September 2026 and conclude on 31st July 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in transport services to engage with public authorities, potentially paving the way for long-term collaborations. Businesses that provide efficient and reliable transport options, particularly those capable of meeting specific educational and special needs requirements, would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. The focus on specialised transport services also highlights opportunities for companies offering niche solutions to expand their client base within the public sector.
