UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has awarded a contract for Client Transport Services, covering the period from 2026 to 2034, to support transportation for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to Philip Southcote school. The procurement process was limited, under the light-touch regime, and has now been completed. Located in Reigate within the South East region, this tender falls under the services category with a legal basis tied to the UK's 2023 legislation. The contract, valued at £11,483,571 GBP, was signed on 4th August 2026, with services commencing on 1st September 2026 and concluding on 31st July 2028.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating within the transport services industry, specifically those capable of providing reliable and tailored transport solutions supporting SEND. Businesses specialising in such niche services that can accommodate the specific needs of educational transport are positioned well to compete for similar contracts, potentially leveraging their expertise to expand into other public service areas. The awarded contract to GALAXY CARS, a Woking-based SME, exemplifies the potential for growth by securing public contracts, reinforcing the value of scalability and adaptability in meeting local authority needs.
