Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed a procurement process titled "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - Child Mainstream," covering transport services for Cobham Free School in Kingston upon Thames, UK. The tender belongs to the transport services industry and falls under a special light touch regime. Initiated as a limited procurement process, this below-threshold competition concluded with an award on 29th July 2026 and a contract start date of 1st September 2026. The procurement aimed to contract transport services for school pupils with a total contract value of £1,802,286 GBP.

This tender offers significant opportunities for SMEs in the transport sector, especially those specialising in school transportation services. Companies like "AT YOUR SERVICE," which successfully secured the contract, demonstrate the potential for similar enterprises to grow by targeting public sector contracts within local government procurement pipelines. Such limited competition processes can be advantageous for smaller businesses that may not have the resources to compete in large-scale, fully open tendering procedures.
