Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council awarded a contract titled "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" for specialised transport services, focusing on accommodating pupils and personal assistants for routes to Freemantles Primary School. The procurement process was conducted under a limited competition method, as part of a below-threshold light-touch regime. The award date of the contract was 31st July 2026, with the contract set to commence on 1st September 2026 and conclude on 31st July 2028. Located in the UK, specifically in the Reigate area, this project falls under the services category of the transport industry and involves the provision of appropriate vehicle equipment such as high-back boosters and five-point car seats.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like County Cabs Limited, which successfully secured the contract, to expand their service portfolios in the public sector transport industry. Companies specializing in transport services, particularly those equipped to handle special educational needs and disability (SEND) transport, stand to gain from such contracts. The limited competition nature of the tender suggests that businesses with relevant expertise and resources have an advantage in participating in similar procurement opportunities that Surrey County Council might offer in the future.
