Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed the procurement process for 'Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND', centred in the transport industry and encompassing services between Freemantles, Ripley, and Bagshot in the UK. This tender falls under the limited procurement method, specifically designed for light touch schemes below the threshold involving limited competition. The contract, awarded on 5th August 2026, commences on 3rd September 2026 and is set to conclude on 31st July 2028. This service contract is crucial for providing transport support over weekdays, particularly for a child requiring specialised seating and behavioural assistance during transport.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the transport services sector, especially those with experience in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) transport. Companies like STL, which was awarded the contract, illustrate the potential for larger-scale businesses to secure growth through public sector contracts. The requirement for a tailored service approach, covering specialised equipment and support personnel, makes this tender particularly suitable for providers experienced in adaptive transport solutions. Moreover, its defined route and engagement terms offer a stable platform for businesses seeking long-term service contracts with public authority entities.
