UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Surrey County Council focused on providing Client Transport Services for SEND students from 2026 to 2034. The procurement falls under the services category within the transport sector. The project's location is centred around Epsom for student pickup and Coulsdon for the school location. The procurement, completed in the award and contract stages as of 5th August 2026, utilised a limited competition method below the threshold. The commencement of the service is scheduled for 1st September 2026, and it is due to conclude on 31st July 2029. This procurement is underpinned by a legal basis from the UK Parliament, highlighting the contractual amount of £14,440,000 GBP.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like Ladysafe and Sons Ltd, which was awarded the contract. Given its focus on specialised transport requirements, businesses proficient in handling SEND services and equipped with appropriate vehicles, particularly small multipurpose vehicles, will find this procurement beneficial. Companies located in or near Surrey with experience in providing reliable and efficient transport services to educational institutions would be particularly well-suited to pursue such tenders. The procurement's emphasis on limited competition suggests that businesses with niche expertise would have a competitive edge in similar future opportunities.
