Surrey County Council, a public authority in the sub-central government category, has awarded a contract titled "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND." This project falls under the services industry category of transport services, specifically excluding waste transport. The contract has been awarded to Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd, with the primary location being between Horley and New Malden, in the United Kingdom. The procurement process utilised a limited method due to its categorisation as below threshold with limited competition. The contract is at the award stage, with the period running from 1st September 2026 to 31st July 2027, and was signed on 27th July 2026. The gross value of the contract is £2,972,976.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those capable of providing tailored Student Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) transport solutions.

Such projects can enhance a business's portfolio in the public sector, increase revenue streams, and establish long-term contracts with government bodies like Surrey County Council.
