UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel under the title Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND. The requirement serves Woodlands School and covers transport for two pupils, with one passenger assistant to support behaviour. It requires a small multi-purpose vehicle and involves travel between Woking and Leatherhead. The service falls within passenger transport services (CPV 60000000) and is a service contract for the council. The specified arrangement combines vehicle provision, safe transport for young people and an accompanying behavioural support role, making it relevant to specialist school transport operators, passenger transport providers and firms able to supply appropriately supported journeys in Surrey.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed and awarded to STL on 3 August 2026. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and has a value of £4,638,214 including applicable taxes. This was a single requirement rather than a multi-lot award, evaluated through a limited competition under the light-touch regime. Surrey County Council is the buyer. The awarded scope is the Woodlands School SEND transport service, covering two pupils, one behavioural passenger assistant and a small MPV for journeys between Woking and Leatherhead. The contracting process is recorded as complete, while the resulting contract is active.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for substantial, specialist SEND transport delivered as a combined vehicle and passenger-support service. A credible future competitor would need to provide a small MPV, organise reliable journeys between Woking and Leatherhead, and transport two pupils safely while supplying a passenger assistant able to manage behavioural needs. The requirement therefore suits operators with experience in assisted school or client transport, suitable vehicles and staff capable of supporting children or young people with additional needs. Providers should also be able to coordinate transport and behavioural support as one integrated service for a public-sector school route, rather than offering vehicle hire or general passenger transport alone.
