Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, a sub-central government public authority, recently completed a procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" involving transport services for special education needs and disabilities (SEND) within the region of Reigate, Surrey, UK. The tender, identified by ID SA1382148, reached the contract stage with the status marked as active as of 3rd August 2026. It operates under a limited competition procurement method aimed below threshold levels. The primary service required from this contract is transportation, scheduled to commence on 4th September 2026, with transportation routes specifically planned for two pupils from Camberley.
