Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Surrey County Council, acting as the buying organisation, offering a contract for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND". This tender pertains to transport services specifically for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and operates in the industry category of transport services, excluding waste transport. The location focus includes Walton-On-Thames for the school and Epsom and Esher for student locations, within the United Kingdom. The procurement stage has progressed to the award phase with the status marked as complete. The procurement method utilised was limited competition, featuring a below-threshold procurement process. This tender, crucially designed under a 'light touch' regime, involved timeline milestones like the signing date of the contract on 5th August 2026, and contract commencement set for 2nd September 2026, with an operational period through 31st July 2029, and a gross contract value of £9,870,714.

This procurement framework represents an opportunity for growth, especially for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like Angel Cars Limited, which was awarded this contract. Businesses possessing expertise in providing specialised transport services, particularly those familiar with the SEND transport requirements, can greatly benefit from such opportunities. Companies within Surrey and broader regions with capabilities in efficient transport service management, compliance with special transport needs, and scenic understanding of the specified locales could find this sector promising. Such tenders promote stability and sustainable partnerships within the public sector, potentially leading to long-term contracts and service provisions.
