UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has awarded a contract for Client Transport Services, specifically SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) transport, covering the period from 2026 to 2034. The procurement falls under the "Transport services" industry category and is located in Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom. The process has been completed, with the procurement method classified as "limited," indicating a below-threshold and limited competition approach. The tender has progressed to the award stage, with County Cabs Limited, a small and medium enterprise (SME), chosen as the supplier. This contract commenced on 1st September 2026 and is scheduled to end on 31st July 2027.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses involved in transport services, particularly those specialising in educational and send transport. The limited competition method suggests the potential for SMEs and local businesses to engage with sub-central government bodies like Surrey County Council. Companies equipped to provide reliable and specialised transport services, potentially without the need for specialised equipment, would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Such contracts can provide sustained business opportunities over an extended period, supporting business growth within the public sector procurement landscape.
