Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has concluded the procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND," aimed at facilitating transportation for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) students. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically transport services excluding waste transport, and is scheduled to operate between 1st September 2026 and 31st July 2028. The contract, valued at £5,192,571, involves transportation to Meadhurst Primary School in Reigate, UK, and includes specific requirements for vehicle equipment such as booster cushions. This limited competition procurement method is completed, and Traveline Transport Services has been awarded the contract, having satisfied the compliance for the below threshold procurement guidelines.

This contract offers significant business growth opportunities for transport service providers specialised in niche services, particularly those experienced in providing tailored transport for SEND. Businesses that demonstrate a focus on quality, reliability, and special needs accommodation are well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. The project signifies the ongoing demand and investment in specialised transport services within Surrey, providing a substantial market for companies looking to expand their reach in regional transport services. With the special regime of a light touch, smaller and medium-sized enterprises have the opportunity to engage with public sector contracts in a structured and competitive manner.
