UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for Oaklands Primary Academy in Westerham, covering six pupils travelling from Warlingham. The requirement is for one large MPV, with no passenger assistant, to provide transport for the specified school journey. This is a passenger transport service rather than a supply or construction contract, and the delivery location is associated with Oaklands Primary Academy and the pupils’ travel from Warlingham. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority responsible for arranging the service. The scope is focused on regular school transport for children, requiring an operator able to provide a suitable large vehicle and manage the journey reliably for the named pupil group.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. STL was awarded the single lot on 24 July 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 30 July 2027, with an awarded value of £3,082,857 including gross value, in GBP. The contract covers transport services for the six-pupil requirement using one large MPV with no passenger assistant. The published evaluation basis is the limited competition route; the available outcome records the award to STL rather than a cancelled or unsuccessful procurement. Surrey County Council is the buyer and STL is the selected supplier.

This award indicates substantial demand from Surrey County Council for organised child home-to-school transport, with a requirement centred on a large MPV carrying six pupils and operating without a passenger assistant. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be established passenger transport operators with access to an appropriately sized vehicle, dependable drivers and the operational capacity to deliver regular school journeys for children. Experience coordinating pupil transport between residential areas and schools would support credibility, particularly where several pupils share one vehicle. Competitors should be able to demonstrate reliable route planning, vehicle availability, day-to-day service management and the ability to work directly with the council on a defined school transport requirement of this scale.
