Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" was conducted by Surrey County Council, a public authority operating under the sub-central government category. Located in Reigate, United Kingdom, the contract focuses on providing transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) between various locations. The procurement was completed through a limited competition method, as it was below the threshold, and followed a "lightTouch" regime. The tender process resulted in an award to Charleys Taxis Limited, a supplier based in Birmingham. The contract, which began on 4th September 2026 and spans until 31st July 2028, is valued at £7,208,571. The contract notice was published on 6th August 2026.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those with suitable vehicles for accommodating children with SEND requirements. Enterprises like Charleys Taxis Limited, which are categorised as small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), would find such contracts particularly advantageous as they offer a consistent revenue stream over multiple years. Companies with a focus on regional transport services, especially in providing specialised transport solutions, will benefit from engaging in similar procurement projects, enhancing their market presence and capacity for delivering niche transport services.
