Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed a procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND," focusing on transport services within the industry category of public transportation. The services entail specialised transport for students, operating 5 days a week, beginning from 4th September 2026 with a contract period ending on 31st July 2028. The awarded contract, valued at approximately £5.73 million, was secured through a limited procurement method highlighting a light-touch regime suitable for below threshold measures. Key locales involved are Addlestone and Walton-On-Thames in the UKJ26 region, detailing specific transport requirements for three students with special needs.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for small to medium-sized enterprises in the transport services sector. Businesses equipped to offer flexible transportation solutions tailored for education-based client transport, particularly those with capacities to adjust to bespoke schedules and routes, would be well-suited to such tenders. The successful bidder, XPERT CARS, exemplifies how SMEs can effectively compete in providing niche transportation services under limited competition conditions, expanding their portfolio by addressing specialized regional transportation needs.
