## Summary

Surrey County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Client Assisted Passenger Transport Services," focusing on services that ensure safe, reliable home-to-school transport for students. This tender, which falls under the transport services category, was awarded through an open procurement procedure and involves multiple regions in the UK, including UKJ.

Contracts are set to commence from 1st March 2026 and run until 28th February 2030, with an optional extension up to 2034, underpinning the Council's commitment to sustainable transport infrastructure.

The tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in transport services, to expand by partnering with a public authority like Surrey County Council. With a focus on fostering participation from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), this tender is ideal for companies offering a diverse fleet capable of meeting varying client needs, including complex health transportation. Engaging in a project backed by a comprehensive framework agreement ensures long-term collaboration opportunities, potentially increasing business sustainability and market presence within the public sector transport services domain.

## Notice

Surrey County Council is dedicated to providing sustainable, safe, secure, and reliable Home to School transport services that meet the needs of students across the county. In accordance with the Education Act 1996 and subsequent amendments, the Council ensures that eligible students have access to free or subsidized transport to and from school. The responsibility for providing Home to School transport services primarily lies with the local authority, especially for students who meet specific criteria such as distance from school, special educational needs, or disabilities. When these services require funding support, it becomes the Council's obligation to secure such services through a competitive tendering process. Home to School transport services funded by Surrey County Council are essential in ensuring that students can attend school regularly and punctually. These services help to promote educational attainment, reduce absenteeism, and support the well-being of students by providing a safe and reliable means of travel.
