UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for three pupils attending De Stafford School. The requirement covers journeys between Godstone, where the pupils are located, and Caterham, where the school is based. The service requires one medium multi-purpose vehicle with seven passenger seats and one personal assistant to support two pupils with epilepsy. The support arrangement includes completion of epilepsy training, with no emergency medication involved. This is a passenger transport service for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities, rather than a general bus or taxi operation. The relevant classification is CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Street Cars Redhill Ltd on 31 July 2026. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded, with a contract value of £8,612,929 including gross value, in GBP. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process, and the award covers the complete SEND transport service for the De Stafford School route.

This award indicates substantial demand from Surrey County Council for specialist SEND passenger transport delivered on a defined school route. A credible future competitor would need to provide a suitable seven-seat MPV, reliable scheduled transport between Godstone and Caterham, and staff able to support pupils with additional needs. The requirement also demonstrates the importance of providing a personal assistant for pupils with epilepsy and completing recognised epilepsy-awareness training before delivery. Relevant suppliers are likely to be established local or regional taxi, private-hire, community transport or specialist education transport operators with dependable vehicles, safeguarding-focused procedures, and the capacity to combine driving with trained passenger support for a small group of pupils.
