Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has concluded the procurement process for the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND", a contract focusing on special educational needs transport services. The award stage was finalised on 31st July 2026, following a limited procurement method and competition below threshold, falling under the light-touch regime. The services are set to begin on 1st September 2026 and will run until 31st July 2029. The transport services involve the provision of transportation for students to and from educational centres located around Staines Upon Thames and Walton on Thames, extending to the Hinchley Wood Cullum Centre in Esher. This contract is valued at £9,424,000 and relates to the industry category of Transport services excluding waste transport.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for companies in the transport service sector, particularly those with expertise in providing specialised transport solutions for educational needs. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in regional transport services may find themselves particularly well-suited for such opportunities. Given the limited competition procurement method, businesses with experience in light-touch regime contracts will have a competitive edge in similar future tenders with Surrey County Council or similar sub-central government buyers.
