Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, a sub-central government public authority in the United Kingdom, has recently completed a procurement process for their "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" project. The procurement, which falls under the services category and specifically focuses on transport services excluding waste transport, was awarded to Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd. The project aims to provide transport services for students of Brookways School, with the location involving Redhill and Sutton. The procurement method used was limited, indicating below threshold and limited competition, and the contract is set to be active from 2nd September 2026 to 31st July 2029 with a gross value of GBP 9,490,312.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of transport services, particularly those specialising in small MPV vehicles, as it caters to specific transport needs for students. Companies with experience in providing consistent and reliable transport solutions for educational settings, particularly in the Surrey region, stand to benefit. Additionally, larger transport firms capable of ensuring compliance with light touch regimes and with a proven track record of service delivery may find this tender aligns well with their capabilities. The detailed planning and long-term contract allows for stable business growth over the coming years.
