Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, a public authority located in Kingston upon Thames, has completed the procurement process for the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" project. This contract focuses on providing transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) students at Bramley Hill School, with specific locations in London UKI63, involving transportation of three students using a saloon vehicle. The procurement process utilised a limited method below the threshold, which commenced with the initiation of a tender and concluded with the contract award on 29th July 2026. The contract services will be active from 2nd September 2026 to 31st July 2029, with a gross value of £7,091,729. The procurement category falls under transport services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those with experience in catering to SEND requirements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), similar to the awarded supplier, XPERT CARS from Epsom, are well-positioned to compete in such contracts due to the specialised nature of the service. With a focus on the transport industry and understanding the need for care and punctuality when dealing with young and vulnerable passengers, businesses looking to expand their portfolio in the public sector could benefit from similar procurement opportunities.
