UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" was conducted by Surrey County Council, a sub-central government public authority located at County Hall, Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom. The procurement was specifically for transport services excluding waste transport. This contracting process, initiated under the limited procurement method due to below-threshold and limited competition, has been completed. The award was announced on 16 July 2026, with the contract signed on the same day. The contract covers the period from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is valued at £4,790,286. The service must include transport for four pupils and one passenger assistant per medium MPV from Epsom, specifically focusing on pupils with special education needs who require seizure management support. The locations specified are Epsom and Chessington in the United Kingdom.

This tender offers a significant business growth opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in tailored transport solutions, particularly those with expertise in special needs transportation. The requirement for a passenger assistant trained in managing medical conditions opens opportunities for providers with specialised training capabilities in school transportation services. SMEs like Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd, which has been awarded the contract, demonstrate the viable market presence that smaller businesses can establish within local authority frameworks by offering bespoke, health-conscious transportation services. Such tenders are ideal for businesses looking to expand their footprint in the public sector and develop niche offerings tailored to meet the specific needs of public sector clients.
