Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has concluded the procurement process for its "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" contract, focusing on transport services for students attending Hopescourt School in Walton-On-Thames. The council, acting as the buyer, initiated a limited competition procurement below the threshold, targeting services under the light touch regime. The contract, awarded to County Cabs Limited, covers the period from 2nd September 2026 to 31st July 2029. With an overall budget of £17,008,000, the service facilitates the transportation of four students from Camberley and Woking to the school location in Walton-On-Thames, requiring a medium-sized MPV with seven passenger seats. Key figures in the contract are Keith Baxter-Russell from the Surrey County Council as the contact point for further queries.

This contract represents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those catering to special educational needs and disability (SEND) transport. SMEs such as County Cabs Limited, which already secured the contract, are ideal candidates for such procurements, given their ability to provide tailored services efficiently. The opportunity allows businesses to expand their service offerings in the education transport sector, establish long-term governmental partnerships, and increase revenue streams by participating in similar upcoming tenders. Companies interested in growing their presence in public sector contracts within Surrey, and potentially beyond, should consider aligning their services to meet such specialised requirements.
