Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, based in Reigate, UK, has completed a procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND," focusing on special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport services. The tender, categorised under the transport services industry, required a saloon vehicle with four passenger seats to transport one student from Ashford, TW15 to Insights School in London, W5 2UA. The procurement was managed through a limited method, indicating a below-threshold process with restricted competition. The contract was signed on 4th August 2026, with services set to commence on 1st September 2026 and conclude by 31st July 2027.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for service providers in the transport sector, particularly those experienced in providing tailored transport solutions for SEND students. Businesses able to provide efficient, reliable, and dedicated services within the geographical scope specified would find this contract beneficial. School Run Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in West Drayton, was successfully awarded the contract, demonstrating the capability of SMEs to win such specialised service contracts from public authorities like Surrey County Council.
