UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for three students attending Brookways School, as part of its special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport service. The students are located in Stanwell and Ashford, and the school is in Sutton, so the requirement covers transport between these areas. The service includes one small multi-purpose vehicle with five passenger seats and one passenger assistant. The passenger assistant must be trained in first aid and in the awareness, administration and handling of EpiPens. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle-only hire: suppliers need to provide the vehicle, transport operation and appropriately trained passenger assistant for the identified students.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. STL was selected as the supplier for the single requirement. The award is active and was made on 30 July 2026; the contract was also signed on that date. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £16,324,643 including tax, stated as the total contract value. The procurement uses the light-touch regime. The requirement was not divided into multiple awarded lots: one complete lot covers the Brookways School transport service. The recorded process concerns a completed award, so it should be treated as an outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This award demonstrates Surrey County Council’s demand for managed SEND transport combining a small passenger vehicle with a trained passenger assistant. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have the operational ability to transport children between named residential and school locations, provide a suitable five-seat MPV, and supply staff trained in first aid and EpiPen awareness, administration and handling. Credibility will also depend on coordinating a consistent passenger-assistant service around the needs of a small number of identified students, rather than simply supplying vehicles. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold limited competition indicates that businesses tracking Surrey’s client transport requirements should understand this route and be ready to evidence practical capability for tightly defined school transport assignments.
