Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, located in Reigate, has recently completed its procurement process for the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" project. The contract, which focuses on providing transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), was awarded on 6th August 2026 and is active from 4th September 2026 to 31st July 2027. The transport services, involving routes from Witley and Godalming, are set within the UKJ region and classified under the services category. This procurement was conducted using a limited method under a below-threshold competition framework, adhering to UKPGA 2023/54 legal standards.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for SMEs engaged in transport services, particularly those with expertise in providing tailored solutions for SEND. CandG Cars Ltd, a small-to-medium-sized enterprise, successfully secured this contract, illustrating the potential for businesses of similar scale and capability to engage in future tenders of this nature. Companies that specialise in niche transport solutions or possess a strong understanding of educational transport needs could find similar opportunities for growth by aligning their capabilities with public sector needs in the educational transportation industry.
