Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed a procurement process titled "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND", which falls under the services industry category. The project focuses on providing client transport services within the UK, specifically in the Guildford and Godalming areas, and it operates Monday to Friday. The process reached the award and contract stage as of 4th August 2026, employing a limited procurement method due to being a below-threshold tender with limited competition. The contracted service officially commences on 3rd September 2026 and is scheduled to conclude on 31st July 2027.

This contract offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in transport services. Firms well-suited for this opportunity include those with capabilities in operating medium-sized, multi-passenger vehicles, such as MPV vehicles, due to the specific transport needs involved. Given the nature of this service, companies with a strong focus on reliability and consistency in transport, along with an ability to adapt schedules to cater to educational routes, will be exceptionally well-positioned to capture similar future tenders. The large supplier, MPCars, has already been engaged, highlighting the potential for well-established transport firms to succeed in this domain.
