Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" has been awarded by Surrey County Council, located in Reigate, United Kingdom. The contract involves providing client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) students, specifically involving a single student from Horley to Eastwick Infant School in Leatherhead. This procurement falls under the transport services category and has been carried out through a limited competition, adhering to a light-touch regime under the legal basis outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54. The procurement stage is in the Award phase, with the contract status marked as active, beginning on 1st September 2026 and concluding on 31st July 2029. The total contract value is approximately £9,044,000. The contract was signed on 5th August 2026.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for firms in the transportation services sector, especially those specialising in tailored services for educational institutions and those adept at managing logistics for SEND students. Large organisations such as Forge Mobility Services Limited, which secured the contract, are well-positioned to tackle such contracts due to their established infrastructure and experience. Smaller businesses looking to expand into specialised transport services can look to this tender as a model for future opportunities, especially in regional markets offering services to sub-central government entities. The limited competition nature of the procurement suggests that businesses capable of providing niche services have the potential to secure similar contracts in the future.
