UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for one child travelling to Jubilee High School in Hersham. The requirement is for a saloon car and does not include a personal assistant. The work falls within transport services, covering the planned journey between the child’s arrangements and the school in Hersham. This is a council-funded passenger transport requirement rather than a vehicle supply contract or a general school transport framework. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a local public authority. The selected supplier, STL, is based in Woking and provides the relevant transport service for this individual school journey. Businesses specialising in passenger transport, school travel or contracted car services are the closest fit for the requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to STL. It used a below-threshold limited competition under a light-touch regime, with the tender recorded as complete. The award was signed on 22 July 2026. The contract value is £3,495,000 gross, including the stated contract value, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. There was one requirement covering the child transport service, with no separate lot structure beyond that requirement. The contract is recorded as active. The published outcome identifies STL as the supplier selected for the transport service. The available procurement information does not set out a separate weighted evaluation breakdown.

This procurement shows sustained demand from Surrey County Council for individually specified child transport, including journeys to mainstream schools and provision using a saloon car. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to organise reliable passenger transport for a single child, match a specified school route and location, and provide an appropriate saloon vehicle. The requirement is suited to operators able to manage school-day travel as a dedicated service rather than only large-volume bus operations. Suppliers should also be able to respond to the council’s limited-competition route for below-threshold transport work and demonstrate the operational capacity to maintain a contracted school journey throughout the required service period. The incumbent supplier is STL, a large Woking-based transport business.
