UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, operating out of Reigate, has successfully completed a procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND", with the main focus on transporting students from the Thames Ditton Infant School area. This procurement falls under the sub-central government public authority industry category and covers services linked to special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The contract was awarded to Hilz Transport, a small to medium enterprise (SME) based in Woking, on 1st August 2026. The operational phase of the contract spans from 1st September 2026 to 31st July 2029, with a total contract value of GBP 4,180,000. The procurement was conducted using a limited competition method, categorised as light-touch and below the threshold.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those equipped to handle SEND transport needs. Companies similar to Hilz Transport that operate in regional and local transport service industries, have small to medium organisational scales, and are capable of providing specialised travel arrangements tailored to the needs of educational institutions, would find themselves well-suited to compete in such procurements. With the focus on morning-only journeys for schoolchildren, businesses that can offer efficient and reliable transport solutions will likely see significant growth opportunities in similar contracts.
