## Summary

Surrey County Council has concluded a procurement process for the provision of Client Transport Services aimed at supporting SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) students, covering the period from 2026 to 2034. The procurement, titled "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND," was conducted under a limited competition method, falling below the threshold for open competition. The contract was awarded to SM Cars, a Woking-based SME, focusing on services in the transport sector. The contract, related to transporting one student from Holy Trinity CofE Junior School in Guildford, commenced on 8th July 2026 and is set to continue until 31st July 2027. The process, recently completed, reflects a specialised procurement under a 'light touch' regime.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses within the transport services industry, particularly those with capabilities in specialised educational transportation. SMEs like SM Cars, who can provide tailored transport solutions and demonstrate expertise in managing specialised routes for educational purposes, would find this and similar contracts advantageous for business growth. By engaging in such procurement opportunities, firms can expand their portfolio, elevate their service delivery capabilities, and establish strong relationships with governmental bodies, thus driving potential future business prospects. The nature of the procurement favours smaller, agile firms able to provide personalised services efficiently, enhancing their reputation and presence in the public sector service delivery landscape.
