Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has recently concluded a procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND," focused on providing transport services for students with special educational needs and disabilities. This contract, with a gross amount of £10,305,643, covers transportation for up to three students on a route that begins in September 2026. The procurement was managed through a "limited" method, specifically a "Below threshold - limited competition," to adhere to the legal framework outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54 initiative. The process has reached the award stage, and the contract was signed on 22nd July 2026. Sprint Transfers Ltd, a small- to medium-sized enterprise based in Horley, was selected as the service provider, indicating a focus on local supply chains within the region defined as UKJ26.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the transport services sector, especially those specialising in accommodating the needs of students with disabilities. Companies offering transport services and personal assistance on the route could find such contracts beneficial for bolstering service portfolios and revenue streams. Additionally, SMEs in the UKJ26 region or surrounding localities, focusing on expanding their market presence within educational transport services, would be well-suited for similar opportunities. Emphasising safety, reliability, and specialised care in service offerings will be essential for businesses seeking to engage with future procurement processes from public authorities like Surrey County Council.
