Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND". This opportunity, in the transport services industry, is notably for supporting special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport to Heathermount School in Ascot, covering various locations including Walton on Thames, Weybridge, Addlestone, and Chertsey. The procurement was conducted under a limited procurement method, specifically below the threshold with limited competition, and it involved a light-touch regime. The award stage was completed on 20th July 2026, and the related contract commenced on 7th September 2026, running until 31st July 2028.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly SMEs like County Cabs Limited, which was awarded the contract. Businesses with a capability to offer reliable transport services for SEND students can benefit greatly from such contracts due to the ongoing support required throughout the school year. The specific focus on medium-sized vehicles and the absence of a personal assistant (PA) requirement suggest opportunities for companies equipped to efficiently handle structured transit operations with minimal supervision needs. The approximate contract value of £7,672,500 highlights substantial potential for business expansion within the public sector service provision.
