Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council is overseeing the public procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" specifically tailored to provide services to special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils. The contract has been awarded to Galaxy Cars, based in Woking, for the transportation of three pupils between Woking and New Malden. The tender falls under the services category and employs a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold nature. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st September 2026 and conclude on 31st July 2027. The process also observes light-touch regime considerations and is currently in the award stage.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in transport services, particularly those with experience or interest in serving educational institutions and managing SEND logistics. The winning business, Galaxy Cars, exemplifies an ideal candidate profile, being a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) capable of fulfilling contractual demands while meeting regulatory and quality standards required by public authorities. Enterprises keen on participating in similar tenders should be positioned to offer reliable and safe transport solutions, as well as demonstrate capacity in managing long-term service deliveries to public entities.
