Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for Surrey County Council's "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" contract has reached the completion stage. This contract involves the provision of transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), requiring a medium-sized MPV vehicle to operate from Guildford to Freemantle's in Ripley, GU23 6ED. The service, awarded to Green Line Cars, covers the period from 3rd September 2026 to 31st July 2028. Notably, the procurement was conducted under a "limited" method, signifying a below-threshold limited competition. The procurement belongs to the transport services category, exclusively under a special 'light touch' regime, involving a gross contract value of £9,344,779.

For businesses within the transport industry, particularly those equipped with vehicles suitable for SEND transport, this contract represents a significant opportunity. Medium-sized enterprises capable of delivering quality passenger transport services, particularly those with experience in supporting special needs passengers, would thrive in similar opportunities. As the procurement process included a limited competition mechanism, businesses that position themselves as reliable providers of specialised transport solutions will have a competitive edge in securing similar contracts in the future.
