Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has recently completed a procurement process for the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - Child Mainstream" project. This procurement focuses on providing transport services for students, specifically requiring one saloon car to operate between the RVC Site at Therfield School, Cobham, and Leatherhead. The tender, categorised under transport services, was conducted with a limited competition method and falls below the threshold for extensive procedural requirements. The contract was awarded to K and M Cars on 4th August 2026, with services set to commence on 1st September 2026 and conclude by 31st July 2028. The total contract value is £2,196,857. The buying organisation, located in Reigate, signifies the involvement of a sub-central government authority in this regional procurement initiative.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport services. Companies like K and M Cars, which was awarded the contract, demonstrate the potential for SMEs to secure such roles if they possess the requisite capability and compliance with the outlined service requirements. The regional focus on Surrey enhances prospects for local businesses to contribute significantly, fostering economic growth within the community while supplying essential services to public sectors. Firms with a background in student transport or similar logistics solutions will find competitive opportunity in engaging with future tenders from sub-central government entities, like the Surrey County Council, which frequently require tailored service provisions.
