Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed a procurement process for 'Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND'. The contract, designated mainly for transport services, involves providing a saloon car to transport two pupils to and from St Philips School, with locations specified as Thames Ditton and Chessington in the UK region of Kingston upon Thames. This procurement, finalised on 17th July 2026, operates within a specific category of services, namely special education needs and disabilities (SEND). The procurement was carried out using a limited method, tailored for contracts below thresholds, under a light-touch regime. The contract period is set from 2nd September 2026 to 31st July 2027, with a total contract value of £1,660,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those adept at providing tailored transport solutions for individuals with special needs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can particularly benefit from partnerships in such contracts due to the project’s fit with specialised transport needs and budget considerations. Given it being under a limited competition procurement method, businesses already integrated into similar frameworks or those with expertise in bespoke transport services will find lucrative growth opportunities in engagements of this nature.
