UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" contract, awarded as part of the limited competition procurement method under a light-touch regime. The contract was awarded to GALAXY CARS and involves transport services within the transportation industry category, specifically requiring a medium 7-seater MPV with a passenger assistant trained in First Aid and epilepsy awareness. The service will commence on the 3rd of September 2026, operating from Guildford and Godalming to meet the transport needs of specified students. The contract, signed on the 4th of August 2026, will run for a year with a total value of £453,929.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the transportation services sector, especially those equipped to provide specialised transport solutions compliant with specific care and safety protocols. SMEs, like GALAXY CARS, that have a niche focus on tailored client requirements, particularly in providing personal transport for educational institutions, are well-suited to compete for such contracts. Participation in these public procurement processes can lead to business growth through long-term service engagements with government entities such as Surrey County Council, enhancing their visibility and reputation in the local market.
