Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Surrey County Council involves the provision of Client Transport Services for the period 2026 to 2034, focusing specifically on Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) requirements. The contract, titled "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND", is designed to facilitate transportation to Philip Southcote School starting in September 2026. Located in Reigate, Surrey, the council is seeking services within the transport industry, with an emphasis on a light-touch regime and limited competition procurement method. The contract has already progressed to the award stage, having been completed and signed on 3rd August 2026, with a service period beginning on 1st September 2026 and concluding on 31st July 2027.

This tender presents lucrative growth opportunities for businesses involved in transportation services, particularly those capable of accommodating special educational needs with suitable multi-passenger vehicles. Given the nature of the requirements, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in providing light-touch transport services in the vicinity of Surrey may find this contract particularly fitting. The awarded supplier, Sprint Transfers Ltd, exemplifies the type of business well-suited for such tenders, offering a model for other companies to evaluate their potential to compete effectively in similar procurement processes initiated by sub-central government authorities like Surrey County Council.
