Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed the award stage of a procurement process titled "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND", focusing on providing transport services for special needs students. The services involve transportation needs for Holland Junior School, requiring a saloon car for specific student journeys in areas such as Ashtead, Epsom, and Oxted. Initiated through a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold status, the contract, valued at £9,875,871, is scheduled to commence on 1st September 2026 and conclude on 31st July 2028. This procurement process falls under the services category and adheres to UK statutory guidelines.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses within the transport services industry, particularly those capable of catering to specialised transportation needs. Companies providing student transportation, especially those equipped to manage special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), are well-suited to bid for such contracts in the future. Given the limited competition nature of the procurement, businesses with a focus on similar niche markets might find strategic advantages and growth opportunities by engaging with public authorities like Surrey County Council.
