Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, located in Reigate, has completed a procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND," which focuses on transport services within the public service industry. The awarded contract involves transportation for siblings from Sunbury-On-Thames to Oaklands School and Ambitious College in London, highlighting the regional significance and focus on SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) client transport. This procurement, classified under limited competition and initiated through a 'light touch' regime, was completed with School Run Ltd by 3rd August 2026. The service is set to commence on 1st September 2026, concluding on 31st July 2027, with a gross contract value of £2,568,857.

The contract awarded to School Run Ltd creates substantial business growth opportunities in the specialised transport sector, specifically focusing on services for clients with special needs. Businesses that offer transportation solutions and specialise in catering to the educational sector and special needs transportation can find significant benefits in similar contracts. Small to medium-sized enterprises, like School Run Ltd, that have experience in managing client transport logistics amid regional educational demands, particularly in the Surrey and Greater London areas, are well-suited to compete for such tenders. This can lead to developing long-term relationships with public authorities and expanding service offerings in a highly targeted market segment.
