UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed the procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND," focusing on providing specialised school transport services. The procurement, classified under transport services (excluding waste transport), involves a contract signed with the supplier Admiral Minicabs. This was a limited competition under a below-threshold procurement method. The procurement activity was centred in the UK, particularly involving locations in Caterham (CR3 5HD) and Coulsdon (CR5 3QG). The contract spans from 1st September 2026 to 31st July 2029 with a value of £8,740,000. The tender related to this procurement process has moved through to the award and contract stages, having been finalised on 5th August 2026.

This contract presents a significant opportunity, particularly for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in transportation and logistics, by providing stable, long-term service opportunities within the specialised school transport sector. The focus on special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transportation indicates a requirement for businesses with capabilities in handling sensitive or specialised transport needs. Companies with experience in providing tailored services for educational institutions would be well-suited, especially those familiar with the regulatory environment outlined by Surrey County Council.
