Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND", valued at £2,687,143. This service involves providing transport for pupils with special educational needs, specifically with routes starting on 4th September 2026, covering locations like Stanwell, Staines-Upon-Thames, and Ashford. The procurement category is services, and it falls under the "Transport services (excl. Waste transport)" industry, with the procurement method being a below-threshold, limited competition. The contract was awarded to School Run Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in West Drayton, United Kingdom.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of specialised transport services. SMEs, particularly those with expertise in pupil and SEND transport, are well-positioned to compete in similar tenders due to their ability to provide tailored and region-specific services. Businesses focusing on expanding their services within the South East of England, specifically in areas like Surrey, could significantly benefit by aligning their capabilities with the specific needs of local authorities such as Surrey County Council.
