Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the provision of “Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND” focused on special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transportation. This involves transporting pupils from various locations including Hersham, Walton-On-Thames, and West Byfleet, with the service commencing for one pupil on 3rd September 2026 and all pupils on 4th September 2026. The procurement utilized a limited method due to its below-threshold value, emphasizing a light touch regime. The contract, valued at £9,044,000, was awarded on 4th August 2026, indicating the transition from the tender stage to the award and contract stage is complete. The contract covers a period starting 1st September 2026, concluding on 31st July 2029, spanning the United Kingdom, specifically in regions UKJ25 and UKJ26, with Reigate and Woking as primary locations.

This tender represents a growth opportunity particularly for businesses in the transport services sector, such as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that cater to niche requirements like SEND transport. Companies with capabilities in providing tailored transport services and those looking to expand their footprint in public sector contracts will find this suitable, as seen in the awarding of the contract to Galaxy Cars, an SME. The service requires precision, flexibility, and reliability, creating a competitive environment for businesses adept at offering dedicated transport solutions. Given the structured nature of the contract, it provides a stable revenue stream over several years, benefiting businesses aiming for long-term engagements.
